Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft is broken down by?
choline esterase enzyme and there is 2 types of choline esterase 1 .truecholine esterase 2. pseudo choline esterase
What enzyme has to be present for acetylcholine to be broken down so that the muscle fiber can relax?
Acetycholine esterase. It breaks down Ach in the skeletal muscle endplate.
What is the synaptic transmission ACh broken down to?
My guess is that it gets hydrolyzed to choline and acetic acid
How is acetylcholine (ACh) removed from the synaptic cleft?
Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase
What does acetylcholinerase do?
Also known as AChE, Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in choline and an acetate group. This occurs at the synaptic cleft. Too much acetylcholine can lead to paralysis
Is acetylcholine a depressant or a stimulant?
Both and neither. ACH is a neurotransmitter that activates a multitude of different receptors. Some of the most important are for skeletal muscles and heart rate. It cannot be taken exogenously (eaten or injected) because it will be broken down into acetate and choline long before it gets to the part of the body where it works as a ligand.
How many total carbon are lost as pyruvate is oxidized?
The pyruvate is initially broken down into CO2 and acetate. One carbon goes to CO2 and two go to the acetate which then combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl coA.
Account for the ability of streptococci to tolerate 02 in the absence of catalase activity?
It means that they can facilitative anaerobes that can survive in both environments in aerobic and anaerobic. Citrate gets broken down by citrase producing oxaloacetic acid and acetate.
How is polymer broken down?
it is broken down into monomers
What does the synaptic knobs of the presynaptic neuron contain synaptic vesicles loaded with?
To provide energy for the re-combination of Choline and ethanoic acid, to form Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is used as a neurotransmitter, and gets broken down after its reached the sodium channels' receptors on the post-synaptic membrane by acetylcholinease.
How do animals transport materials?
Energy comes from fatty acids which form from excess glucose( sugar) and lipids( fats). When energy is needed these fatty acids cross into the mitochondria and are broken down into acetyl choline- which is the energy block. Animals, therefore, transport energy in fat cells.
Can elements get broken down?
Yes, elements can be broken down.
