In older rock layers we find fossils of living things that no longer exist on earth.

Explanation:

Scientists often refer back to fossils found within sedimentary rocks to back their idea that life forms have changed over time.

Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that once lived on earth. Special conditions must be in play before an organism can become a fossil like presence of hard parts.

Fossils are indicators of ancient life forms that has once lived.

What is a nerve synapse, and what role do neurotransmitters play in in a synapse

Jobisdone [24]

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.——————Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. It is a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another "target" neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.
