The gap between two neurons across which nerve impulses pass is called:
A. Synapse
B. Dendrite
C. Axon

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A synapse is the junction between two neurons (or neuron and effector) where the nerve impulse is transmitted from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron, usually via neurotransmitters. Axon carries impulses away from the cell body, dendrites receive signals, soma is the cell body. Synaptic transmission can be chemical or electrical.

Alexander Fleming discovered the antibiotic penicillin from the fungus:
A. Agaricus bisporus
B. Aspergillus fumigatus
C. Penicillium chrysogenum
D. Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin in 1928 when a mold contaminant (later identified as Penicillium notatum/now Penicillium chrysogenum) inhibited bacterial growth. This led to the first widely used antibiotic. Aspergillus species produce some toxins and acids, Saccharomyces is yeast, Agaricus bisporus is the common mushroom. Penicillin acts by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
