The strongest postsynaptic signal would be achieved by which of the following combinations?
A)Low concentrations of neurotransmitter and postsynaptic receptors.
B)High concentrations of neurotransmitter and degrading enzymes.
C)Low concentrations of postsynaptic receptors and high concentrations of degrading enzymes.
D)High concentrations of neurotransmitter and low concentrations of degrading enzymes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strongest postsynaptic signal would be achieved with high concentrations of neurotransmitter and low concentrations of degrading enzymes, as this would allow for a greater amount of neurotransmitter to bind to and activate the postsynaptic receptors for a longer period of time. Low concentrations of postsynaptic receptors or neurotransmitter would limit the amount of signal transmission, and high concentrations of degrading enzymes would decrease the amount of neurotransmitter available for binding to receptors.
