Termination of the postsynaptic potential would be expected from a drug or process that acts to
A) increase synthesis of the neurotransmitter molecule.
B) enzymatically degrade the neurotransmitter molecule.
C) blocks transport of the neurotransmitter molecule through the axon membrane.
D) increase the number of postsynaptic receptors.
E) increase release of the neurotransmitter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the neurotransmitter molecule is enzymatically degraded, there will be less neurotransmitter available to bind with its receptors, which will lead to termination of the postsynaptic potential.
