Explanation / Answer

Question 13: Answer: C) reuptake

Reuptake is the process by which there would be reabsorption of the neurotransmitters. This reabsorption results I’m a decrease in the number of molecules. This process of reuptake would be taking place with the help of a neurotransmitter transporter, that would be present with the outer membrane of the plasma membrane. This is one of the most important phenomenon in the normal physiology as the neurotransmitters get recycled and there would be a control of the duration with which the signal would be lasting.
