_____ is the deactivation of a neurotransmitter by transporter proteins that bring the transmitter back into the presynaptic side for reuse.
A) Diffusion
B) Enzymatic degradation
C) Reuptake
D) Neurochemical recycling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reuptake is the deactivation of a neurotransmitter by transporter proteins that bring the transmitter back into the presynaptic side for reuse. Diffusion refers to the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Enzymatic degradation involves the breakdown of a neurotransmitter by enzymes in the synaptic cleft. Neurochemical recycling is not a term commonly used in the context of neurotransmitter deactivation.
