Incorrect statement about electrical synapse is

Question

Incorrect statement about electrical synapse is, The neurotransmitter released from the pre-synaptic membrane binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, Impulse conduction occurs at faster rate, Pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons are very close to each other at synapse, No requirement of neurotransmitters

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Electrical synapse Chemical synapse 1. The membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are very close to each other. 1. The membranes of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-filled space called the synaptic cleft. 2. Electrical current flows directly from one neuron into the other across these synapses. 2. Neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at these synapses. 3. Impulse transmission occurs at a faster rate. 3. Impulse transmission occurs at a slower rate. 4. Rare in our body. 4. Very common in our body.
