A) break down into inactive fragments
B) collection by scavenger vesicles left over from the neurotransmitter release
C) drifting away from the synapse

Question

Kipling Avenue Baptist Church · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Scavenger vesicles specifically for collecting excess neurotransmitters left over from neurotransmitter release do not exist as a recognized mechanism for dealing with excess neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. The primary processes for handling excess neurotransmitters include breakdown into inactive fragments, drifting away from the synapse, and reuptake by neurons or glial cells.
