During puberty, as neurons become more responsive to excitatory neurotransmitters, adolescents: a) react more strongly to stressful events and experience pleasurable stimuli more intensely. b) have difficulty storing and retrieving long-term memories. c) cope better with stressful events and rarely experience negative emotion. d) become capable of reading and interpreting emotional cues.

react more strongly to stressful events and experience pleasurable stimuli more intensely

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are the chemical that serves to transmit nerve impulses across a synapse. Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the axon terminals. A postsynaptic neuron receives many excitatory and inhibitory signals. An excitatory neurotransmitter serves to produce a potential change called a signal that brings the polarity of a neuron neared to an action potential and have a depolarizing effect.

On the other hand, an inhibitory neurotransmitter leads the polarity of a neuron away from an action potential. When a neuron receives many excitatory signals the axon will transmit a nerve impulse and the response will be generated. Since neurons become more responsive to excitatory neurotransmitters during puberty, they produce a more intense response to both stressful and pleasurable conditions.

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.
