How is acetylcholine removed from the postsynaptic membrane?​

Biology
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals (and humans) as a neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitter is a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells, such as neurons, muscle cells and gland cells.

After a neurotransmitter molecule has been recognized by a post-synaptic receptor, it is released back into the synaptic cleft. Once in the synapse, it must be quickly removed or chemically inactivated in order to prevent constant stimulation of the post-synaptic cell and an excessive firing of action potentials.

Some neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft by special transporter proteins on the pre-synaptic membrane. These transporter proteins carry the neurotransmitter back into the pre-synaptic cell, where it is either re-packaged into a vesicle and stored until it is once again needed to transmit a chemical message, or broken down by enzymes.

sveta [45]
The answer would be C, as many streams/rivers carry plant seeds, dispersing them. If there was a drought, these seeds wouldn't be able to float on the stream and disperse.

The T tubules store Ca2 . provide a means of rapidly transmitting the action potential from the surface into the central portion
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

provide a means of rapidly transmitting the action potential from the surface into the central portions of the muscle fiber

Explanation:

T-tubules or Transverse tubules are the tube-like structures present in the muscle fibers.

The T tubules are formed by the modification in the plasma membrane of the cell and therefore arise from the surface of the muscle cell.  The T tubules then pass through the muscle and enter the inner core of the muscle that is near to the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The main function of the T tubules is to carry forward the action potential from the synaptic junction to the muscle where it triggers the release of the calcium from the muscle.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
