The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question presents two statements: - A: "Transmission of the nerve impulse across a synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitters." - R: "Transmission across a synapse usually requires neurotransmitters because there is a space, i.e., synaptic cleft, that separates one neuron from another." 2. **Analyzing Statement A**: - The first statement (A) is about the role of neurotransmitters in the transmission of nerve impulses. - Neurotransmitters are indeed the chemical messengers that facilitate communication between neurons at the synapse. - Therefore, statement A is **true**. 3. **Analyzing Statement R**: - The second statement (R) explains why neurotransmitters are necessary for transmission across the synapse. - It mentions the presence of the synaptic cleft, which is the gap between the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) and the postsynaptic neuron (receiving neuron). - This cleft prevents direct electrical transmission, necessitating the use of neurotransmitters to bridge the gap. - Thus, statement R is also **true**. 4. **Determining the Relationship**: - Now, we need to determine if R is the correct explanation for A. - Since R explains that the synaptic cleft requires neurotransmitters for transmission, it directly supports the assertion made in A. - Therefore, R is indeed the correct explanation for A. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements A and R are true, and R correctly explains A. - The correct answer is that both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A. ---
