Which of the Following is True About Changes in Transmembrane

Question

Which of the following is true about changes in transmembrane potentials?
A) They cannot alter the resting membrane potential.
B) They can only produce an action potential.
C) They can open chemically regulated channels.
D) They can open voltage-regulated channels.
E) They can only produce a local potential.

Accepted Answer

Changes in transmembrane potentials can open voltage-regulated channels, which are ion channels that open or close in response to changes in the electrical potential across the membrane.
