Question

Which one of the following statement holds true for Passive Diffusion?

• A. Greater the area and greater the thickness, faster is the diffusion
• B. Rate of drug transfer is directly proportional to the concentration gradient between GI fluids and the blood compartment
• C. Rate of transfer of ionised drug species is 3‐4 times the rate for unionised drug species
• D. Greater the membrane/water partition coefficient of drug, slower is the absorption

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is (B): Rate of drug transfer is directly proportional to the concentration gradient between GI fluids and the blood compartment
