Chemicals involved in transmission of impulses at chemical synapses are called , they bind to their specific present on the post synaptic membrane, Here ‘A’ and ‘B’ are
| A | B | |
| 1. | Receptors | Substrate |
| 2. | Enzymes | Receptors |
| 3. | Biocatalysts | Active site |
| 4. | Neurotransmitters | Receptors |
Which is correct?
| 1. | Impulse transmission is always faster across an electrical synapse than across a chemical synapse |
| 2. | Impulse transmission is sometimes faster across an electrical synapse than across a chemical synapse |
| 3. | Impulse transmission is faster across chemical synapse than electrical synapse |
| 4. | Both synapses have equal impulse transmission speed |
| 1. | It requires neurotransmitters to transmit impulses between neurons. |
| 2. | It uses synaptic vesicles to transmit impulses between neurons. |
| 3. | It occurs predominantly in the autonomic neural system. |
| 4. | It allows direct current flow between neurons with only a virtual synaptic cleft, resulting in faster impulse transmission. |
| 1. | A-axon terminal, B-synaptic cleft, G-synaptic vesicles, D-neurotransmitters, E-receptors |
| 2. | A-axon terminal, B-synaptic vesicles, C-synaptic cleft, D-receptors, E-neurotransmitters |
| 3. | A-synaptic cleft, B-synaptic vesicles, C-axon terminal, D-neurotransmitters, E-receptors |
| 4. | A-synaptic cleft, B-axon terminal, C-synaptic vesicles, D-neurotransmitters, E-receptors |
| 1. | Impulse Transmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across an electrical synapse. |
| 2. | The membranes of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons are in close proximity in an electrical synapse. |
| 3. | Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse. |
| 4. | Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters. |
A diagram showing axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly A-D:
| 1. | A | Receptor | C | Synaptic vesicles |
| 2. | B | Synaptic connection | D | K+ |
| 3. | A | Neurotransmitter | B | Synaptic cleft |
| 4. | C | Neurotransmitter | D | Ca2+ |
| Assertion (A): | Electrical synapses are common in our nervous system. |
| Reason (R): | Electrical synapses allow slower impulse transmission than chemical synapses. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
