Are receptors and enzymes both located in the cell membrane?

Yes. There are many proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. Some of these proteins are enzymes, and some are receptors; the receptors are glycoproteins, with short chains (oligosaccharides) of sugar residues attached to the protein. Other proteins act as means of transporting atoms, ions, and molecules across membranes (channel and carrier proteins).

A substance that accepts a proton?

In terms of chemistry, a proton is an ionized hydrogen atom, H+. These are released by acids, and they are bound by the hydroxide ion, OH- which in combination with the hydrogen ion turns into a water molecule, H2O. Hydroxide ions are released by a base such as NaOH. The reaction between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is the neutralization reaction between acids and bases.
