What is the primary function of cholinesterase in animals regarding nerve impulses?

  1. Activating the chemical neurotransmitter dopamine

  2. Producing hormones for growth

  3. Deactivating the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine

  4. Regulating blood sugar levels

The correct answer is: Deactivating the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine

Cholinesterase in animals primarily functions by deactivating the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that transmits nerve impulses across synapses, and once its job is done, it needs to be broken down to stop the signal transmission. Cholinesterase is responsible for this breakdown process, ensuring that nerve impulses are properly regulated and do not continue to transmit signals unchecked. This function is crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in animals.
