Answer:

spontaneous generation

Explanation:

Spontaneous generation is the myth that organisms could originate without the need to have descent from similar organisms (i.e., created spontaneously from the dust). This belief stated that organisms could arise from nonliving material. Louis Pasteur conducted experiments in order to show that this belief was false and thus confirm the theory of biogenesis, which states living organisms can be only generated by the reproduction of similar living organisms. Pasteur showed that microorganisms could not be developed in isolated sterilized tubes, but they could be developed in open tubes, thereby showing that reproduction (biogenesis) is the only source of living organisms.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) <em>Acetylcholinesterase.</em>

Explanation:

Neurotransmitter release occurs in the neuron axon. The sending neuron has vesicles filled with neurotransmitters in their interior. When an action potential reaches the nervous terminal or the varicosities, it causes the neurotransmitter release by exocytose forward to the synaptic space. The molecule binds to its receptor in the postsynaptic neuron. This receptor is a protein structure that triggers an answer. As long as the acetylcholine is in the synaptic space, it keeps linking to its receptor and causing a postsynaptic answer. To stop this process, the neurotransmitter must be taken out from the synaptic space. There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated:

  • <em>Enzymatic degradation/deactivation</em>: In the synaptic space, there is a specific enzyme called Acetylcholinesterase that can inactivate the neurotransmitter by breaking or degrading it. In this case, the new molecule won’t be able to bind to the neurotransmitter receptor.
  • <em>Reuptake</em>: There are receptors located in the presynaptic membrane that can capture de molecule to store it back in new vesicles, for posterior use.
