Of the small-molecule neurochemicals, some are removed from the synapse by reuptake while others are inactivated by enzymes first. Recognizing that some molecules used in transmission have faster and briefer signals than others, discuss how you think the mechanism of inactivation plays a role in this.
What will be an ideal response?
Using enzymes in the synapse to inactivate a neurochemical should provide the most rapid means to curtail a signal. Given that acetylcholine is the fastest acting of neurotransmitters, both in onset and offset, and that acetylcholine is inactivated by enzymes in the synapse, this lends credence to the argument.
