Question

neurotransmitters bind to on the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron. multiple choice receptors synapses phospholipids synaptic vesicles sodium ions

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers. Receptors are proteins on the postsynaptic neuron's membrane that specifically bind to neurotransmitters. Synapses are the junctions between neurons. Phospholipids are part of the membrane structure but not what neurotransmitters bind to. Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters in the presynaptic neuron. Sodium ions are involved in action potentials but not the binding site for neurotransmitters.

Answer:

receptors
