Solution

The neurotransmitter carrying impulse to the next neuron is acetylcholine.

Explanation:

When an impulse reaches the axon terminal, acetylcholine is released into the synapse. It carries the signal across the gap and produces a new impulse in the next neuron. Action potential is an electrical impulse, whereas Nissl's granules and visual purple do not act as neurotransmitters.
