The statement "A dose-response curve is a graph illustrating the inverse relationship between LD50 and the acute toxicity of a chemical" is false. A dose-response curve shows the relationship between the dose of a substance and the magnitude of its effect on an organism or population, but it does not necessarily relate to LD50 or acute toxicity. LD50 refers to the dose of a substance that is lethal to 50% of a test population, and acute toxicity refers to the severity of an immediate adverse effect.
