Answer:

The correct option is B) send chemical messages across small gaps between neurons.

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells that make up our nervous system. Although they are connected to each other, they do not maintain physical contact with each other. The nerve impulse travels through the neuron, and when it reaches its dendrites, it is transmitted to the next neuron through the synapse, which is produced through the exchange of chemical substances called neurotransmitters. Neurons communicate with each other through the small spaces (or small gaps) between them, in a process known as synaptic transmission (where synapses are the connections between neurons). This synapse requires neurotransmitters (for example dopamine or glutamate) for the transmission of the signal or message, which after being released will bind to specific receptors causing an ionic change by opening or closing a channel.

The overall result of the proton-proton chain is that ________
Delicious77 [7]
Basically, the P-P chain turns 4 protons into: 1 neutrino, 1 gamma ray, 1 positron, 1 helium nucleus.
A gamma ray = energy.
The chain converts hydrogen into helium and makes energy.

This is all occurring through fusion reactions where 2 protons basically smash into each other. But, it could also be e.g. a proton smashing with a deuterium nucleus. Or, other nuclei smashing together to make something else.

Hope this helps!
