Explanation:

Intercellular communication refers to the communication and interaction that exists between two cells in the body. It could be hormonal or synaptic transmission.

Synapse is the site where electric nerve impulses are transmitted between two nerve impulses.

There are two synapse possibilities which are electrical and chemical.

The Sparks and soups mean that the scientific discovery over the transmission of nerve impulses as to whether they are electrical impulses (Sparks) or chemical impulses(soup).

Chemical synaptic transmission means there is no physical touch in the space chemical are released and move to the neighbouring cells.

Electrical transmission means neuron physically touch and give way for flow of impulses between cells.
