Question
How can molecules pass through a closed gate such as in ligand-gated channel protein?
Group of answer choices
Receptor must receive pressure to open the gate.
Receptor must receive electrical signals to open the gate.
Receptor must receive signals or stimulus from the neurotransmitter to open the gate.
The ligand-gated channel protein is always open, and it does need any stimulus
