Which of the following statements regarding glutamate is correct? I. typically secreted by large excitatory neurons in mammalian brains. II. can be metabolized to glutamine by glutaminase III. is synthesized in neurons from local precursors Question 5 options: I. only I. and II. only I. and III only II and III only I, II and III
Added by Kimberly M.
Step 1
Glutamate is indeed typically secreted by large excitatory neurons in mammalian brains. These neurons use glutamate as a neurotransmitter to stimulate other neurons, playing a crucial role in neural communication. Therefore, statement I is correct. Show more…
