1. How are neurotransmitters accepted at the postsynaptic neurone?

  • They aren't
  • Neurotransmitters fuse with complementary receptors on post synaptic neurone
  • Actively transported into the post synaptic neurone
  • Diffuse through post synaptic membrane

2. What do neurotransmitters do as the pass across the synaptic cleft?

  • Do nothing
  • Cause nerve impulse to move towards presynaptic neurone
  • Cause depolarisation
  • Cause repolarisation

3. How are impulses transported from one neurone to another?

  • Neurotransmitters
  • Sodium ions
  • Diffusion
  • Calcium ions

4. What does the presynaptic neurone contain?

  • Mitocondria
  • Sodium channels
  • Neurotransmitter receptors
  • Neurotransmitters

5. How does the presynaptic neurone release neurotransmitters?

  • Synaptic vesicles fuse with presynaptic membrane and releases neurotransmitters by exocytosis
  • Neurotransmitters diffuse via active transport across the presynaptic membrane
  • Synaptic vesicles fuse with presynaptic membrane and releases neurotransmitters by endocytosis
  • Neurotransmitters diffuse across the presynaptic membrane
