All of the following are examples of why vesicular storage of neurotransmitters is important except:
A) provides a protected area for neurotransmitter synthesis to occur.
B) protects neurotransmitter from destruction by enzymes.
C) provides mechanism for immediate release of neurotransmitters.
D) prevents premature release of neurotransmitters.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While vesicular storage of neurotransmitters does provide a protected area for neurotransmitter release and protects them from destruction by enzymes, it does not directly facilitate the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Instead, neurotransmitters are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the neuron and then transported into the vesicles. The other three options are all correct reasons for why vesicular storage of neurotransmitters is important.
