Action potential propagation in a skeletal muscle fiber ceases when acetylcholine is removed from the synaptic cleft. Which of t

he following mechanisms ensures a rapid and efficient removal of acetylcholine?a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.b) Acetylcholine is transported back into the axon terminal by a reuptake mechanism.c) Acetylcholine is transported into the postsynaptic neuron by receptor-mediated endocytosis.d) Acetylcholine diffuses away from the cleft.

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.

Which of these statements describes some aspect of facilitated diffusion?a.Facilitated diffusion is another name for osmosis.b.F
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport hence no energy is required by the cell. This means that while the molecules are moving down a concentration gradient – line normal diffusion – the movement of the molecules needs to be facilitated (in this case by a transmembrane protein) either because the molecule is polar and can't pass through the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, or the molecule is too big to passively pass through the small natural pores of the cell membrane.
