Answer #1

False.

Receptor agonists mimics the action of naturally occuring neuro transmitters.

Example : Nicotine binds and activates the Ach receptors of skeletal muscle ( nicotinic Ach receptors)

Curare is a nicotinic receptor antagonist. Curare is a classic antagonist of nicotinic acetyl choline and competes with acetyl choline at the binding site, effective as neuromuscular blocking agent used as general anesthesia. Curare binds tightly to Ach receptors of skeletal muscle.
