A pharmacologic agonist is a chemical substance that
a. Binds to a specific receptor and produces a response
b. Elicits a pharmacologic response without binding to a receptor
c. Possesses the property of affinity but not of intrinsic activity

a. Affinity
b. Potency
c. Efficacy
d. Therapeutic index
If drug has a greater efficacy than drug B, then drug A

A drug with a high LD50 and a low ED50 has a
a. High therapeutic index and is, therefore, very dangerous
b. High therapeutic index and is, therefore, relatively safe
