Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from a neuron at a synapse. They cross the synaptic - cleft and bind to receptors on the target cell, thereby affecting the target cell's activity. They do not stimulate neuron growth, act as physical bridges, or conduct action potentials along axons.

Answer:

They affect a target cell in a synapse.
