Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct chronological order of events in synaptic transmission is: 
1. A nerve impulse reaches the synaptic knob (A) 
2. Neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft (B) 
3. Neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors in the postsynaptic cell (D) 
4. A voltage change occurs in the postsynaptic cell (E) 
5. A nerve impulse begins in the postsynaptic cell (C)

Therefore, option D (a, b, d, e, c) correctly lists the events in chronological order.
