Question

Use the following information to answer the next question Sarin is a chemical with the compound C$_4$H$_{10}$FO$_2$P that was initially developed in 1938 as a pesticide, then later used as a chemical war agent during WWII. Sarin works by disrupting the function of acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine in the neuro-muscular synapse. It causes symptoms such as involuntary muscle contractions, difficulty breathing, and uncontrollable coughing. 5. Based on the information above, what can we deduce about the function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and acetylcholine (ACh)in the neuro-muscular junction? ACh is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which hyper-polarizes the muscle cell. Inhibiting AChE causes excessive hyper-polarization of the cell, therefore decreasing the ability for voluntary muscle contraction. ACh is an modulatory neurotransmitter, which increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to action potentials by decreasing polarization. Inhibiting AChE causes hyper-sensitivity of muscle cells to action potentials, therefore causing involuntary muscle contractions. ACh is an excitatory neurotransmitter, triggering action potentials. Inhibiting AChE causes insufficient ACh release into the synapse, therefore blocking voluntary muscle contractions. ACh is an excitatory neurotransmitter, triggering action potentials. Inhibiting AChE triggers continuous action potentials to muscle cells, therefore causing uncontrolled contractions. 17°C Sunny
