the black widow spider has venom that causes muscle spasms (uncontrollable movements). which of the following is most logical?
the venom is antagonist to serotonin.
the venom is antagonist to acetylcholine.
the venom is agonist to acetylcholine.
the venom is agonist to serotonin.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter involved in muscle - contraction. An agonist to acetylcholine would increase its effects, potentially leading to muscle spasms. Serotonin is not directly related to muscle - contraction in the same way. An antagonist to acetylcholine would block muscle - contraction rather than cause spasms.
