A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on <u>which of its </u><u>receptor(s</u><u>) are present on the </u><u>postsynaptic</u><u> (target) cell.</u>

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

Protists are very diverse, and many different classification schemes have been used to define relationships between the protists

By using both of these schemes, energy source and locomotion, amoeboids can be classified properly. Both schemes play an important part of amoeboid’s taxonomy classification because these organisms changes its shape when feeding. Amoebas are traditionally classified under sub-phylum Sarcodina, single-celled with pseudopods (use for locomotion) but recent studies show that they are not monophyletic and actually belong to other groups of organisms — with locomotion and source of nutrients as basis.
