Question

xplain the difference between a ligand-gated channel and a voltage-gated channel.

Select all answers that apply


A) Ligand-gated channels open in response to binding of a chemical while voltage-gated channels open in response to a change in voltage

B) Ligand-gated channels are non-specific while voltage gated channels are specific

C) Ligand-gated channels directly cause graded potentials while voltage-gated channels directly cause action potentials

D)Ligand-gated channels directly cause action potentials where as voltage-gated channels directly cause graded potentials

Answer 1

A) Ligand-gated channels open in response to binding of a chemical while voltage-gated channels open in response to a change in voltage
