For an open channel, what factors determine in which direction ions will move through that channel?
A single type of ion may pass through several different typesof channels. Explain the term with an example?
Ions like K+ cannot diffuse directly across the membrane. They need open ion channels to cross the membrane. Explain why.

C) Positive membrane potentials on the extracellular side will close the channel. D) Ion specificity comes from the voltage-sensing helices.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about ion channels is INCORRECT? Like carrier proteins, most channel proteins are specific regarding which molecules are allowed to pass. Channel proteins can have open or closed configurations. Unlike carrier proteins, some channel proteins are engaged in active transport of solutes. Channel proteins are used extensively in nerve cells, in which they are responsible for transduction of electrical signals. Compared to carrier proteins, channel proteins allow much faster transport.arrow_forward
