Which of the following is NOT a mechanism for removing a neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft?
A)diffusion of the neurotransmitter away from the synapse
B)active reuptake of the neurotransmitter back into the presynaptic terminal
C)enzymatic breakdown of the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft
