contents In this work, we systematically study $N(1440)$, $N(1535)$, and $Λ(1405)$ in both the quenched three-quark and five-quark frameworks using the Gaussian Expansion Method (GEM) within the chiral quark model. Our calculations show that $N(1535)$ can be reproduced as a three-quark state ($N(1P)$), while $N(1440)$ and $Λ(1405)$ cannot be accommodated as the three-quark candidates, ($N(2S)$ and $Λ(1P)$), respectively. In the five-quark framework, we find that the $ΛK$ state for $N(1535)$ can not form a bound state, while in the $N\bar{K}$ channel there will $Λ(1405)$ form a shallow bound state. Based on the complex-scaling method, we performed complete coupled-channels calculations and obtained six resonance states with energies ranging from 1.8 GeV to 2.2 GeV, in addition with one bound state located around $Σπ$ channel. However, neither molecular candidates in $ΛK$ channel for $N(1535)$ nor $N\bar{K}$ for $Λ(1405)$ are included in these states. This is because the strong coupling between $N\bar{K}$ and $Σπ$ will make the $N\bar{K}$ unbound, while the weak coupling between $ΛK$ and $ΣK$ can not help form a stable structure around $ΛK$ threshold. Thus, under the quenched quark model, our results support $N(1535)$ as a three-quark state, while $N(1440)$ is neither a three-quark nor a five-quark state. In addition, we find that although $Λ(1405)$ can be primarily a five-quark state, it requires a mixture of three-quark and five-quark components for stability. In the future, an exploration on the mixing effects between bare baryons with these relevant two-body hadronic channel components will be carried out to further test our conclusions.
