Zoology-Synaptic Transmission
NEET Zoology Synaptic Transmission MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11
If the transmission speed across an electrical synapse is 10 times faster than a chemical synapse with a speed of 5 m/s, what is the speed of impulse transmission through the electrical synapse?
A
50 m/s
B
10 m/s
C
15 m/s
D
5 m/s
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is faster than that across a chemical synapse. Given that it is 10 times faster than a chemical synapse speed of 5 m/s, the electrical synapse speed would be 50 m/s.
