Answer:

a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.

Explanation:

After it binds for its receptor on the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell, acetylcholine must be removed in order to prevent repeated stimulation. Acetylcholinesterase is enzyme for the inactivation of acetylcholine, present at all cholinergic synapses. This enzyme hydrolyses acetylcholine and breaks it to the acetate and choline. Choline can be reused for the synthesis of the new acetylcholine molecule so it is taken back into the presynaptic cell.

Why does dna contain thymine but rna contains uracil?
uysha [10]
<span>Thymine is harder to make, but more stable. DNA needs to keep information safe for a long time, so it makes sense to use thymine. But RNA is made and used quickly, and small mistakes don’t matter as much, so the easier to make uracil does the job.</span>
