In a synapse, chemical signal is transmitted from

Answer: D

Solution: Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapse. In a synapse, the electrical signal is converted into the chemical substance called as neurotransmitter by the presynaptic neuron.

This chemical diffuses across the synaptic cleft and reaches the other neuron. The signal thus travels from axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron.
