The mineral is structured solid found in nature, with a fixed chemical composition. If a mineral scratches glass, the property hardness of the mineral is measured. The property hardness refers to the mineral's resistance to being scratched. In odrer to determine this property, scientists use the Moh's Hardness Scale. According this scale the mineral can be categorized as: <span>talc, gypsum, calcite, fluorite, apatite, orthoclase (feldspar), quartz, topaz, corundum or diamond.</span>

Communication between neurons occurs from contact between the two neurons. when the intensity of the action potential increases

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is - when action potentials trigger the release of neurotransmitters.

Explanation:

Communication between neurons takes place by signaling that can be either chemical signaling or electrical signals. Communication between neurons occurs at very small gaps known as synapses.

These synapses have two specialized cells that help two neurons communicate by one to another to allow for chemical transmission. The chemical that isreleased due to the stimulation of the action potential in order to communicate the neurons are known as neurotransmitters that allow for transmission.
