Question

A dose–response curve shows that noncompetitive antagonists alter both the _______ and the _______ of the agonist, while competitive antagonists alter only the _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  potency,

2. efficacy,

3. potency

Explanation:

The dose-response curve is a graphical representation, which describes the level of the reaction of individuals or subjects to certain inducement after a given period of time.

Hence, in this situation, a dose-response curve shows that noncompetitive antagonists alter both the POTENCY and the EFFICACY of the agonist, while competitive antagonists alter only the POTENT.
