In the lock-and-key analogy for neurotransmitters, the lock refers to the _____, whereas the key refers to the _____.

I believe the correct answers are: post-synaptic receptors and shape of the neurotransmitter.

     In the lock-and-key analogy for neurotransmitters, the lock refers to the post-synaptic receptors, whereas the key refers to the shape of the neurotransmitter.

     Analogy of key-and-lock refers to the binding to occur between post-synaptic receptors and the shape of neurotransmitters, in which the neurotransmitter and the receptor site must have perfectly complementing shapes, as does a key that fits a lock.

The 'lock' in the lock-and-key analogy for neurotransmitters represents the receptor, while the 'key' represents the neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter, released from the sending neuron, fits into the receptor of the receiving neuron, initiating neural communication.

In the lock-and-key analogy for neurotransmitters, the 'lock' refers to the receptor that is present at the cell membrane of the receiving or postsynaptic neuron. The 'key' refers to the neurotransmitter that is released by the sending or presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft (the space between neurons).

The neurotransmitter (key) fits precisely into the receptor (lock), resulting in a chain reaction leading to the generation of an electrical impulse. This is an important aspect of neural communication, with different neurotransmitters interacting with different types of receptors.
