Because plants go through a cycle(the cycle is seed, seedling, plant, flower and tree.) and it takes time for the plant food, water, and nutrients to go though the plant.
Exocytosis is basically when your vesicles transport materials out of a cell.
Once the neurotransmitters are synthesised and packaged into vesicles, they are transported until the vesicles reach the cell membrane. Then the 2 bilayers rearrange themselves so that the vesicles are able to fuse with the membrane . Once that occurs, the neurotransmitters will spill out whatever it was carrying.
Two examples of exocytosis are
1) your nerve cells releasing transmitters (explained in the description above)
2)your T cells sending vesicles filled with enzymes to viral infected cells
A dependent variable is a value that depends on another, so what relies on the other! :)
