Question

which of the following crosses the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the dendrites of neighboring neurons?
sensory neuron
soma
neurotransmitter
axon terminal

Explanation:

• Sensory neurons are for transmitting sensory info, not crossing synapses to bind receptors.
• Soma is the cell body of a neuron, not involved in crossing synapses to bind.
• Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals, cross the synaptic cleft, and bind to receptors on neighboring neurons' dendrites.
• Axon terminal is the part that releases neurotransmitters, not the one crossing the cleft to bind.

Answer:

neurotransmitter
