  • Transporter molecules (correct)
  • Receptor molecules
  • Enzyme molecules
  • Antagonist molecules

    • What is the role of the drug that acts as an antagonist?

  • It enhances the release of neurotransmitters
  • It fills the synaptic vesicles
  • It blocks the release of neurotransmitters (correct)

    • How are neurotransmitters released from synaptic vesicles?

  • By being pumped across the membrane
  • By rupturing against the presynaptic membrane (correct)
  • By being filled with drugs
