Question

A nerve poison that blocks acetylcholine receptors on dendrites would _____. a nerve poison that blocks acetylcholine receptors on dendrites would _____. cause continued stimulation of the postsynaptic membrane inhibit the regeneration of acetylcholine for use by the presynaptic terminals inactivate acetylcholinesterase, allowing acetylcholine to persist in the synapse reduce the binding of acetylcholine to its receptors on the postsynpatic membrane cause an immediate and enduring depolarization

Answer 1

Nerve poisons, or nerve gases are organic chemicals that interfere with the mechanism by which nerves transfer messages to organs. The interference is as a result of the blocking of acetylcholinesterase, and enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetycholine, a neurotransmitter. Therefore, a poison that blocks acetylcholine receptors on dendrites may reduce or decrease the binding of acetycholine to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
