Which of the following is a true difference between electrical and chemical synapses? A. electrical synapses are more complex, allowing for more subtle, graded responses in the post-synaptic neuron B. chemical synapses do not rely on or involve the movement of ions across the cell membrane C. chemical synapses are slower than electrical synapses due to the time necessary for diffusion across the synaptic cleft D. electrical synapses but not chemical synapes rely on neurotransmitter GPCRs E. chemical synapses involve the passage of neurotransmitter from the cytoplasm of the pre-synaptic neuron directly into the cytoplasm of the post-synaptic neuron
