Action potential propagation in a skeletal muscle fiber ceases when acetylcholine is removed from the synaptic cleft. which of the following mechanisms ensures a rapid and efficient removal of acetylcholine? a) acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase. b) acetylcholine is transported back into the axon terminal by a reuptake mechanism. c) acetylcholine is transported into the postsynaptic neuron by receptor-mediated endocytosis. d) acetylcholine diffuses away from the cleft.

a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.

Explanation:

After it binds for its receptor on the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell, acetylcholine must be removed in order to prevent repeated stimulation. Acetylcholinesterase is enzyme for the inactivation of acetylcholine, present at all cholinergic synapses. This enzyme hydrolyses acetylcholine and breaks it to the acetate and choline. Choline can be reused for the synthesis of the new acetylcholine molecule so it is taken back into the presynaptic cell.

the corpus luteum secretes estrogens and progesterone. the latter hormone causes changes in the uterus that make it more suitable for implantation of the fertilized ovum and the nourishment of the embryo. if the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum becomes inactive after 10–14 days, and menstruation occurs.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
