Question
ion channels in cell membranes
multiple choice
are nonspecific
are not affected by differences in electrical potential across the membrane
may open in response to binding a ligand
only allow ions to move from the extracellular fluid into the cell
only allow ions to move from the intracellular fluid out of the cell
Ion channels in cell membranes are specific in the ions they allow to pass through. They can be voltage - gated (affected by electrical potential differences across the membrane), ligand - gated (open in response to binding a ligand), and can allow ions to move in both directions (into or out of the cell).
