Zoology-Synaptic Transmission
NEET Zoology Synaptic Transmission MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
If the transmission speed across an electrical synapse is 0.5 ms, what would likely be the transmission speed across a chemical synapse given that chemical synapses are slower?
A
0 ms
B
0.2 ms
C
0.5 ms
D
0.1 ms
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context indicates that impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than across a chemical synapse. Thus, the speed across a chemical synapse would be slower than 0.5 ms, making 1.0 ms a plausible slower speed.
