These are chemicals that carry a nerve impulse across the gap at the synapse of a neuron to another neuron
A
enzymes
B
stimuli
C
hormones
D
neurotransmitters
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A neurotransmitter is a chemical that relays signals across the synapses between neurons. Neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic space between the terminal button of one neuron and the dendrites of other neurons, where they bind to the dendrites in the neighbouring neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that transmit the nerve impulse across the synapse. They are stored in synaptic vesicles of axon terminal and are released into the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite. The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Connections Between Neurons The electrical impulse in the neurone before the synapse stimulates the production of chemicals called neurotransmitters (such as acetylcholine), which are secreted into the gap.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chemical Synapses Transmission The neurotransmitters disperse across the synaptic cleft to then bind themselves to specialized receptors of postsynaptic neurons.
