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.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

No, Homeostatic regulation requires Three components namely, a receptor, a control center and an effector. Without a receptor, there cannot be homeostatic regulation. Even though it seems that heart rate varies and returns to some number, this is not technically homeostatic regulation.  Blood pressure is homeostatically regulated - it has baroreceptors that monitor pressure, the brainstem that receives the information and nerves that then activate blood vessels to constrict or dilate to correct pressure (as well as other effectors) - but heart rate is not. Heart rate is not monitored by any neuron. Absolute water content of the body is not homeostatically regulated either - no neuron detects the number of water molecules, although neurons do detect the relative saltiness of the body.
