The correct option for the statement “What is taking place in the synaptic cleft?”
Answer to Problem 7RAT
The correct option for the statement “What is taking place in the synaptic cleft?” is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
In the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitters are released when the action potential tends to reach the terminal of axon. This leads to the opening of voltage gated channels of charged calcium ion. On the activation of the voltage gated channels, the movement of charged calcium ion is observed form a region of higher concentration towards the region of containing lower concentration which leads to the releasing of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “What is taking place in the synaptic cleft?” is option (d).
