Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An agonist is a substance that activates a receptor to produce a biological response, whereas an antagonist blocks or dampens a biological response by binding to and blocking a receptor. Therefore, "facilitate" is to "hinder" as one promotes an action and the other obstructs it, mirroring the relationship between agonist and antagonist.
