The assertion is true because dendrites are responsible for receiving information from other neurons or sensory receptors in the environment. The reason also supports the assertion because neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow communication between neurons, and dendrites contain receptors for these neurotransmitters, which allows them to detect and respond to signals from other neurons.
