Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes an agonist in terms of its effect on the synapse?

  • Decreases synaptic activity
  • Increases synaptic activity (correct)
  • Inhibits the synapse
  • Causes subjective experience of being an upper

What is the main difference between agonists and antagonists?

  • Agonists cause subjective experience of being an upper, while antagonists cause subjective experience of being a downer
  • Agonists increase synaptic activity, while antagonists decrease synaptic activity (correct)
  • Agonists inhibit the synapse, while antagonists enhance the synapse
  • Agonists decrease synaptic activity, while antagonists increase synaptic activity

Do agonists always cause a subjective experience of being an upper?

  • No, because the subjective experience depends on the type of synapse being agonized (correct)
  • Yes, because agonists increase synaptic activity
  • Yes, because agonists inhibit the synapse
  • No, because agonists always cause a downer effect
