Question

question 2 of 10
unused neurotransmitters are absorbed in a process called:

a. reuptake.

b. uptake.

c. reabsorbtion.

d. absorption.

Explanation:

In neuroscience (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Biology), the process by which unused neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron is called reuptake. "Uptake" is a general term, "reabsorbtion" (note: correct spelling is reabsorption, but it's not the term for neurotransmitter reabsorption) and "absorption" are not the specific terms for this neural process. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. reuptake.
