A

Synapse is formed by 2 membrane first presynaptic membrane of synaptic knob & second post synaptic membrane of dendrite.

B

Synaptic membrane always be seprated by a gap , called synaptic cleft.

C

Electricle synapse in very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false regarding synapses, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of a Synapse A synapse is the junction between two neurons where the transmission of nerve impulses occurs. It consists of: - **Presynaptic membrane**: This is the membrane of the neuron that sends the signal. - **Postsynaptic membrane**: This is the membrane of the neuron that receives the signal. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Statements 1. **Statement 1**: "Synapse is formed by the two membranes: the presynaptic membrane of the synaptic lobe and the postsynaptic membrane of the dendrite." - This statement is **true**. The synapse indeed consists of these two membranes. 2. **Statement 2**: "Synaptic membrane always be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft." - This statement is **false**. While synapses typically have a synaptic cleft, the phrasing "always be separated" can be misleading. In some types of synapses, such as electrical synapses, the membranes are not separated by a cleft. 3. **Statement 3**: "Electrical synapse is very similar to the impulse conduction along a single axon." - This statement is **true**. Electrical synapses allow direct electrical communication between neurons, similar to how impulses travel along an axon. 4. **Statement 4**: "In chemical synapse, neurotransmitter is released and either excitatory or inhibitory potential is generated on the postsynaptic membrane." - This statement is **true**. In chemical synapses, neurotransmitters like acetylcholine are released, which can lead to excitatory or inhibitory responses in the postsynaptic neuron. ### Step 3: Identify the False Statement Based on the evaluation, the false statement regarding synapses is **Statement 2**: "Synaptic membrane always be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft." ### Final Answer The false statement regarding synapse is: **"Synaptic membrane always be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft."** ---
