What is the Name of the Enzyme That Destroys Acetylcholine

Question

What is the name of the enzyme that destroys acetylcholine?
A) Dopamine
B) ACh
C) Acetylcholinesterase
D) Norepinephrine

Accepted Answer

Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that destroys acetylcholine by breaking it down into choline and acetate. This process is important in terminating the action of acetylcholine at the synapse, allowing for proper synaptic transmission to occur. Dopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters themselves, and ACh is the abbreviation for acetylcholine.
