What are the examples of types of channel protein?
Channel proteins are integral proteins (also transmembrane proteins) which has pores that allow passage of water and hydrophilic solutes through the cell membrane. some are open while others are gates that can be open or close in respond to different stimuli: 1. Ligand gate---> in respond to chemical 2. Voltage gate---> in respond ot electrical potential across the plasma membrane 3. Mechanical gate--> in respond to physical stress on a cell (strech,pressure)
Name 3 stimuli that open and close gated channels?
Ion channels can open or close by stretching of the cell membrane, electrical signals, or chemicals in the cytosol or external environment.
Gated channels are especially important in regulating the transport of across a plasma membrane?
Gated channels are important in transporting ion and other necessary molecules. Cells need to maintain a balance with their environment. If ions could freely diffuse through the plasma membrane, the right ionic environment required for cellular reactions is not met. In the absence of the right ionic environment, many cellular reactions might stop. Therefore, there is a requirement for gates through which ions can travel into and out of the cell. A typical example is the sodium-potassium channel. Here, the entry of three sodium ions is balanced out by the exit of 2 potassium ions. This is how the gate is designed. Another example includes gates for the entry and exit of glucose molecules, a necessary nutrient for mammalian cells
Which cellular gates open in depolarization?
In depolarization, voltage-gated sodium channels open first, allowing sodium ions into the cell, resulting in action potential generation. This is followed by voltage-gated potassium channels opening to repolarize the cell.
What is the definition of protein gate?
A protein gate is a pathway through a protein molecule on the plasma membrane in which ions and small molecules can diffuse in or out of a cell.
What changes occur to voltage-gated Na and K channels at the peak of depolarization?
Inactivation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels close, while activation gates of voltage-gated K+ channels open.
What can be opened or closed in a cell membrane?
Channels, transporters, and receptors can be opened or closed in a cell membrane. Channels allow specific ions or molecules to pass through, transporters move specific molecules across the membrane, and receptors regulate signaling processes by opening or closing in response to specific molecules.
What kind of gated channels are involved in the generation of graded potentials?
Graded potentials are generated by ligand-gated channels and mechanically-gated channels. Ligand-gated channels open in response to chemical signals, while mechanically-gated channels open in response to physical stimuli such as pressure or touch. Both types of channels allow ions to flow across the membrane, leading to changes in membrane potential.
What opens first in response to a threshold stimulus?
The activation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels open, and Na+ diffuses into the cytoplasm.
What channel is the gates on?
ABC
Is there difference between sodium or potassium gates and pumps?
Yes, there is a difference between sodium and potassium gates and pumps. Sodium and potassium gates refer to ion channels that open and close in response to changes in membrane potential, allowing ions to flow across the cell membrane. On the other hand, sodium-potassium pumps actively transport sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients, utilizing energy to maintain the electrochemical balance of the cell.

Why does action potential's move through axons in only one direction?
the axons and dentrites would get mixed up and the brain would be thinking in two ways and we would be confused to which one was which
How cell stop diffusion through protein channels?
by closing gates
What opens first in response to threshold stimulus?
The activation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels open, and Na+ diffuses into the cytoplasm.
