 | |
 |

 |
They are produced on the ribosomes of a neuron's cell body.; |
 |
They are composed of 10 or fewer amino acids.; |
 |
They are transported down the axon to the terminal button via microtubules.; |
 |
alternatives b, c, and d are all correct; |
CORRECT - Yes, peptide neurotransmitters are small proteins composed of 10 or fewer amino acids which are produced on the ribosomes of the cell body. Following their synthesis, they are transported to the terminal buttons via microtubules.
