Receptor sites for neurotransmitters are present on:

1. Pre-synaptic membrane
2. Tips of axons
3. Post-synaptic membrane
4. Membrane of synaptic vesicles

Correct answer: Post-synaptic membrane

Solution

Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and attach to specific receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane. This binding triggers a response in the receiving neuron or effector cell.
