  1. The following dose-response curve shows that


(A) larger  amounts of  agonist produce a   corresponding   increase    in  response
(B) 80% more agonist is required to achieve 80% more response
(C) 81 times more agonist is needed to achieve a 90% response than a 10%
response
(D) an 80% high response is achieved with a tenfold increase in agonist
(E) None of the above are true.


  1. A dose that is represented as LD 50


(A) shows   a   response    in  50% of  the population
(B) kills half of the study group
(C) is a dose that has an acceptable risk level of 50%
(D) is a dose that has a threshold response of 50%
(E) is a dose that is administered to 50% of the population


  1. Problem(s) associated with risk management include


(A) people  making  a   risk    assessment  vary    in  their   conclusions of  long-term
