Question 1

3 main forms of excretion

Answer 1

fecal
urinary
expired air

Question 2

why is biotransformation necessary

Answer 2

bc most drugs are lipid soluble, weak organic acids or bases and are not readily eliminated - need to be converted to something more water soluble to be eliminated

the outcome of biotransformation is the facilitation of _____

Answer 3

excretion

Answer 4

liver
kidney
skim

cofactor = UDP-GA

Question 14

acetylation enzyme and cofactor

Answer 14

acetyltransferase

cofactor = acetyl coenzyme A

Question 15

cofactor and enzyme for methylation

Answer 15

cofactor = SAM

enzyme = methyltransferase

Question 16

acetaminophen uses what 2 phase 2 pathways

Answer 16

glucuronidation and sulfation
