Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.

A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and  water inputs.

The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total  maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.

Hence, the correct option C.

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
