Question

Identify the INCORRECT statement.

Options

• At electrical synapses, the membranes of pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons are in very close contact.

• In electrical synapse, at gap junction, the two cells are within 3.8 nm distance of each other.

• The transmission of impulse across electrical synapse is faster than that of chemical synapse.

• Synaptic gap of chemical synapse is smaller than in electrical synapse.

Answer 1

Synaptic gap of chemical synapse is smaller than in electrical synapse.

Explanation:

Chemical synapses have a bigger synaptic gap than electrical synapses.
