Nerve gas causes rigid paralysis by targeting and blocking the effects which enzyme and why?
A) Choline acetyltransferase because targeting this enzyme prevents the formation of AcH from its components, causing a lack of ACh ready to be packed into synaptic vesicles.
B) Choline acetyltransferase because targeting this enzyme prevents Ach from transferring across the synaptic cleft.
C) Acetylcholinesterase because targeting this enzyme prevents the breakdown of Ach in the synaptic cleft, causing over stimulation of acetylcholine receptors
D) Acetylcholinesterase because targeting this enzyme would upregulate the breakdown of ACh, triggering a lack of whole ACh to bind the post-synaptic cell.
