Question

changes in the membrane potential, meaning the difference in charge within the intracellular side of a cell membrane compared with the extracellular side, trigger the opening or closing of

multiple choice

mechanically - gated channels

ligand - gated channels

voltage - gated channels

Explanation:

Voltage - gated channels open or close in response to changes in membrane potential, which is the difference in charge between the intracellular and extracellular sides of a cell membrane. Mechanically - gated channels respond to mechanical stimuli, and ligand - gated channels open or close when a ligand binds to them.

Answer:

C. voltage - gated channels
