Answer:
The correct answers are: Synaptic Active Zones, Exocytosis.
Explanation:
- An impulse after travelling along the dendrites, cell body and axon of a neuron reaches the axon endings in the form of an action potential (signal transmitted by the activation of voltage gated sodium and potassium channels present on the plasma membrane of the neurons).
- At the axon ending or the pre-synaptic region, the action potential triggers the opening of the voltage dependent calcium channels, that promotes the influx of calcium ions into the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
- This process triggers the fusion of the neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
- As a result of fusion the neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
- At the pre-synaptic region of the neuron, there is a huge concentration of neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles which remain adhered to proteins called CAZ (cytomatrix at the active zone) proteins. These proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to remain tethered or docked to the pre-synaptic membrane in the axon terminal of the neuron. They together form the Synaptic Active Zone.
- In response to calcium ion influx these proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
- The process of fusion of the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon followed by the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is known as Exocytosis.
Answer:
Active transport proteins use adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's energy storage molecule, to pump glucose into the cell, either with or against the concentration gradient.

Oxygen molecules are too small and glucose molecules are quite large than oxygen. So they can't passively disuse inside a cell.
Option C
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Glucose molecules are large molecules with a molecular formula of C₆H₁₂O₆ These molecules need special protein channels or transporters called Glucose Transporters or GLUT to make them way through the cell membranes. While smaller molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, smaller polar molecules like <em>water</em> or even fat soluble molecules like chloroform and benzene do pass through the membranes easily by means of passive diffusion.
The oxygen molecules are needed inside a human cell for aerobic respiration and glucose molecules are needed because of a respiratory substrate. So Glucose needs receptors and transporters to pass through the membranes.
