Question 1 • Biology

Which kind of reaction best describes the transmission of information between neurons across the synapse?

Answer
A
environmental
B
chemical
C
hormonal
D
physical

Explanation

Information usually crosses the gap between neurons through neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers released by one neuron and detected by another. Therefore, the transmission is best described as chemical. Hormones are chemical messengers too, but they generally travel through the bloodstream rather than across a synapse.
