A) It has the correct size and shape to wedge itself into the neurotransmitter uptake channel.
B) It has the correct polarity to wedge itself into the neurotransmitter uptake channel.
C) It has the correct size, shape, and polarity to wedge itself into the neurotransmitter uptake channel.
D) None of the above

Neurotransmitter Uptake

The process by which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by a neuron after the completion of a neural signal transfer.

Cocaine Molecule

The cocaine molecule is an organic compound with a complex structure that acts as a powerful stimulant in humans.

Polarity

A property of molecules showing the distribution of electrical charge, leading to molecules having a positive end and a negative end.
