#axonal transport question

Retrograde axonal transport uses which motor protein?

Answer: B) Dynein. For Synapse, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, Dynein is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, Dynein is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. So Dynein is the clean, accurate selection. If a similar stem appears later, start from the same core fact and you will land on the same kind of answer. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Dynein from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Synapse.

Anterograde axonal transport is mediated by:

Pick C: Kinesin. Thinking about Synapse in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: Kinesin is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. Hence Kinesin is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Synapse; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Kinesin.
