If chemical signals stop forming at a synapse, which result is most logical?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Forward movement of the nerve message will be blocked
A synapse is the junctional gap between two neurons. Although an impulse can travel electrically along one neuron, neurotransmitter chemicals are needed to carry the signal across this gap and activate the next neuron. If those chemicals are not formed, transmission to the next neuron will be interrupted. Therefore option B follows directly; insulin production and root growth are unrelated distractors.
