In exocytosis, what is one possible advantage of the kiss and run mode over the release of all neurotransmitter molecules in a vesicle?
 
  a. Signaling across the synapse is much faster.
 b. Fewer action potentials are needed in order to signal.
 c. Regaining the resting potential in the axon terminal occurs much faster.
 d. Neurons need fewer autoreceptors.

Question 2

What do neuroscientists mean when they use the term kiss and run?
 
  a. The presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes actually touch or kiss..
 b. Synaptic vesicles touch or kiss each other inside the presynaptic terminal.
 c. Neurotransmitter molecules kiss receptors, and then return to the synaptic gap.
 d. Synaptic vesicles kiss the axon terminal membrane, releasing only a part of their contents.
