Infact the meteor only had a 13% chance to hit the earth and make ash and soot fly into the air

The meteorite was probably 1<span>0 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide</span> and affected the entire planet through a proces called "impact winter". As the name suggests, an impact winter is a period of low temperature produced by a huge cloud of ash and dust that blocks sunlight. Since sunlight is essential for plants to survive, if the sun rays are blocked by this cloud, all animals that depend on those plants (including dinosaurs) will die. The meteorite could have created such a cloud upon hitting the earth.

Which of the following ways are leftover neurotransmitters cleaned up if they
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

the neurotransmitters are broken down in the synapse

The presynaptic neuron absorbs the neurotransmitters

Explanation:

The termination of the neurotransmitters is essential as if they can cause harm by continuing the stimulus effect on the muscles or cells. To clean up these neurotransmitters there are two ways- Degradation of neurotransmitters with the help of enzymes in the synapses or synaptic cleft and the presynaptic neurons absorbs or suck up neurotransmitters. The neuron (presynaptic neuron) is that releases the neurotransmitter like dopamine, serotonin, is the one that re-uptake it.

This reuptake is done by transporter proteins that are are symporters in nature as these proteins pump neurotransmitters as well as ions back into the neuron.
