Question

2. State the labels on the y axis and x axis of dose response mortality curves

Answer 1

Dose-response curves are used to plot the result of experiments that measure responses to drugs. The x-axis is set as the concentration(μM) of the drug and the y-axis as the response(% max). A dose of drug is the amount of drug administered to the subject. Experiments carried out in vitro do not usually employ doses of drug, but instead use a range of concentrations of the drug dissolved in solution. The result of this type of experiment should be plotted as a dose- response curve.
