Question

The opening of a _________ channel is controlled by a mechanical force applied to the channel

(a) Ligand
(b) Voltage gated
(c) Mechanical gated
(d) Transmitter-gated

Answer 1

(c) Mechanical gated

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical gated channels are controlled by mechanical forces applied to the channel, this happens when a distortion of the cell membrane causes a deformation on the membrane channels and thus they change their conformation in order to star or stop the exchange of some molecules.
