Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. While for many this disorder

has little to no effect, for some it can be life-threatening. How could low levels of calcium harm an individual?
Low levels of calcium would not have any effect on synaptic transmission.
Low levels of calcium would cause sustained depolarization of the presynaptic cell.
Low levels of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between the pre- and postsynaptic cell.

Answer:

Hypocalcemia is defined as low level of calcium in the serum.

It could be harmful to an individual in the following ways:

Convulsions, arrhythmias, tetany, and numbness in the hands and feet and around the mouth occur due to lowered threshold for depolarization causing increased responsiveness.

Life-threatening complications- Laryngospasm and Cardiac arrhythmias can arise.

Effects on cardiac output include:

(A) Negative chronotropic effect, or a decrease in heart rate.

(B) Negative inotropic effect, or a decrease in contractility

Radda [10]

two molecules or moieties combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. When this small molecule is water, it is known as a dehydration reaction; other possible small molecules lost are hydrogen chloride, methanol, or acetic acid.

Researchers investigating the regulation of neurotransmitter release from presynaptic neurons proposed a model in which CDK5, a
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"GFP contained in synaptic vesicles moved into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis."

Explanation:

Synaptic vesicles are small membrane sacs that carry neurotransmitters from the cell body where they are produced, to the presynaptic membrane of the terminal button where they are released. The release zone of the presynaptic membrane contains voltage-dependent calcium channels. When an action potential depolarizes the presynaptic plasma membrane, Ca^{2+}-channels open, and  Ca^{2+} flows into the nerve terminal to trigger the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, thereby releasing their neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
