Correct answer: Ligand-gated ion channel don’t open until the neurotransmitter diffuses across the synapse and binds to the receptor, The calcium channels are blocked in the presynaptic cells, It takes time for the vesicular exocytosis to occur

Please explain why each of the correct answer choices are correct. Thank you. 

The calcium channels are blocked in the postsynaptic cell
The calcium channels are blocked in the presynaptic cells
It takes time for newly synthesized voltage gated ion channels reach the plasma membrane from the cell body
It takes time for the vesicular exocytosis to occur
It takes time for the potassium leak channels to respond to the depolarization
Ligand-gated ion channel don't open until the neurotransmitter diffuses across the synapse and binds to the receptor
