- Q3Which of the following does NOT occur during synaptic transmission?The chemical message is converted back to an electrical impulseThe neuron is in a resting stateNeurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleftAn electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters30s
- Q4The following describes what exact process? When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, the inside of the cell becomes positively charged for a split second.
