After release, neurotransmitters are deactivated in the synapse by
A) afterpotentials.
B) the process of enzymatic degradation.
C) postsynaptic receptors.
D) reverse transmitters.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are typically either taken back up into the presynaptic neuron for reuse or broken down by enzymes in the synapse. This process is known as enzymatic degradation. Afterpotentials, postsynaptic receptors, and reverse transmitters are not involved in deactivating neurotransmitters in the synapse.
