question 27

Multiple Choice

In the synthesis cycle of glutamate, it is generally the case that

• A) neurons convert glutamate to glutamine, while glial cells convert glutamine to glutamate.
• B) neurons convert glutamine to glutamate, while glial cells convert glutamate to glutamine.
• C) neurons convert glutamine to glutamate, which is then hydrolyzed by glutaminase in the synaptic cleft.
• D) glial cells convert glutamine to glutamate which is then recycled into the presynaptic neuron through reuptake.
• E) glial cells convert glutamine to glutamate, which is then hydrolyzed by GAD before diffusing away.
