Q. A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order.
(i) Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron.
(ii) Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane.
(iii) Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter release into synaptic cleft.
(iv) Depolarisation of pre-synaptic membrane.
(v) Arrival of action potential at axon terminal.
Which of the following options represents these events in a correct order?

Q. ln electrical synapse, impulse from pre-synaptic membrane reaches post-synaptic membrane through:
