A neurotransmitter acts by activating its receptor on an ion channel of a neuron. This causes the water-filled channel to open, allowing ions move through it down their electrochemical gradients. This causes a change in membrane potential. Which of the following is most appropriate regarding type of channel and mechanism of ion transport?
Type of Channel-Voltage gated; Mechanism of Transport- Primary active transport
Type of Channel-Ligand gated; Mechanism of Transport- Primary active transport
Type of Channel-Ligand gated; Mechanism of Transport- Diffusion
Type of Channel-Voltage gated; Mechanism of Transport- Diffusion
