Answer:

The correct order for the events of neurotransmitter release from the synaptic terminal is given below...

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Depolarization of the terminal membrane,

2: Voltage-gated Ca2++ channels activated

3: Extracellular Ca2+ enters terminal and binds to sensor protein

4: Change in the conformation of docking proteins

5: Fusion of the vesicle to the plasma membrane, with subsequent release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
