What is the fate of neurotransmitters once they have performed their function? In other words I want to know how synaptic nerve transmission is ended (3-4 fates of neurotransmitters).

A few things happen once neurotransmitters bind to their respective receptors and begin biochemical processes in the next neuron's dendrite.
They can be enzymatically degraded, they can diffuse away from the synaptic gap, and they can undergo reuptake by the neuron they were released from, usually to be recycled.

A common or traditional definition of matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)". For example, a car would be said to be made of matter, as it has mass and volume (occupies space). The observation that matter occupies space goes back to antiquity.
