Essential Biochemistry - Neurotransmitters (Section 2 - No. 26)
Which of the following statements are true regarding reuptake mechanisms in the synapse?
Reuptake mechanisms are crucial for recycling neurotransmitters.
Reuptake usually involves active transport.
Reuptake reduces the duration of neurotransmitter action.
Reuptake exclusively involves enzymatic degradation.
Explanation
Reuptake mechanisms recycle neurotransmitters, involve active transport and limit the duration of the neurotransmitter's effect. Degradation is a separate mechanism.
