- BThe drug is negatively charged.
- CThe drug is positively charged.
- DThe molecule contains two opposing charges.
12Choose the word or phrase from the list below that best completes this sentence.

- Bcillia
- Chairs
- Dcells
13Choose the word or phrase from the list below that best completes this sentence.
