Question

Which of the following is not a feature of the chemical synapse?

(a) Slow

(b) Common

(c) Neurotransmitters

(d) Multidirectional

This question was posed to me in class test.

Origin of the question is Human Neural System in chapter Neural Control and Coordination of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right option is (d) Multidirectional

To elaborate: The impulse through chemical synapses passes slowly and only in one direction. Unlike electrical synapses, where no neurotransmitters are involved, in chemical synapses neurotransmitters are involved here.
