Which of the following statements is false regarding electrical synaps

1.	Which of the following statements is false regarding electrical synapses?(a) Membranes of pre and post-synaptic neurons are in very close proximity(b) Transmission is always faster than that across a chemical synapse(c) It is similar to impulse conduction along a single axon(d) Electrical synapses are common in our systemI had been asked this question in semester exam.Asked question is from Neuron-2 topic in portion Neural Control and Coordination of Biology – Class 11
Answer» The correct OPTION is (d) Electrical synapses are common in our system Explanation: In electrical synapses, the membranes of pre and post-synaptic neurons are in close proximity. It is similar to IMPULSE conduction along a SINGLE axon and is always FASTER than TRANSMISSION across a chemical synapse. It is rare in our system.
