Conformational changes in channel proteins brought about by voltage changes are responsible for opening and closing $mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $mathrm{K}^{+}$ gates during the generation of an action potential. (True or false?)
Madhur L.
Your cells have voltage gated channels across which sodium and potassium ions can pass. It is the change in movement of the ions that cause the action potential. True False Question 5 Neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors in the receiving cell's plasma membrane. True False Question 6 The hypothalamus regulates hormones from the pituitary gland and acts as a biological clock regulating circadian rhythms. True False
