Question 1 of 5
The following are True concerning diffusion of drugs across cell membranes EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acidification of urine hastens excretion of weakly acidic drugs (e.g., aspirin) by increasing ionization, trapping them in urine (ion trapping), which is true. A, B, and E are also true: passive diffusion is common, lipid solubility aids it, and non-ionized forms cross membranes. However, D is false:aspirin (pKa ~3.5) is mostly ionized in the stomach (pH ~2), not non-ionized, due to pH < pKa. Thus, C is the exception.
