Neurotransmitters that open Cl- channels in the post-synaptic cell membrane
a) Depolarize the post-synaptic cell membrane
b) Do not affect the electrical potential of the post-synaptic cell membrane
c) Produce a similar effect as neurotransmitters that open K+ channels in the post-synaptic cell membrane
d) Are called excitatory neurotransmitters.
Homework Answers
The correct option is c) produce a similar effect as neurotransmitters that open k+ channels in the post synaptic cell membrane.
Explanation -
The opening of Cl- ion channels in the post synaptic cell membrane causes the change in its potential. It results in the hyperpolarisation of the membrane due to influx of the negativity charged Cl- ions into the neuron. Similar is the case of opening of K+ ion voltage gated channels that causes hyperpolarisation of the membrane potential, that is it becomes negative due to efflux of K+ outside the neurons. Therefore, such type of neurotransmitters are of inhibitatory type and not excitatory type.

What is typically the role of an inhibitory synapse? to open Na+ channels in the post-synaptic membrane to depolarize the post-synaptic membrane to generate an EPSP to hyperpolarize the post-synaptic membrane If a post-synaptic nerve cell receives a large number of EPSPs from synapses on different dendrites, what is the most likely result? A hyperpolarization Mechanical summation Spatial summation An IPSP Why might natural selection have favored cephalization? It allows animals to better detect stimuli behind them, if they are...

Twenty neurons synapse with a single receptor neuron. Fifteen of the twenty neurons release neurotransmitters that produce EPSPs in the post-synaptic cell, whereas the remaining five neurons release neurotransmitters that produce IPSPs in the post-synaptic cells. When each of the twenty neurons is stimulated, it release enough neurotransmitters to produce a 2mV change (either positive or negative) in the postsynaptic membrane potential. If the threshold of the post-synaptic cell is 10mV greater than its resting potential, how many excitatory neurons...
Ion channels that switch open and close as the potential difference across the cell membrane changes...
Ion channels that switch open and close as the potential difference across the cell membrane changes are an essential component of the cell membrane. Most such channels contain a molecular ion with a significant electrical charge at their core. Suppose a protein contains a molecular ion with a charge of -12e and that this protein is embedded in a cell membrane that has a thickness of 9 nm. What are the magnitude and direction of electric force on the ion...

11. Acetylcholine is both an excitatory and inhibitory ligand depending on the location of its receptor. What does Acetylcholine do that makes it "excitatory"? a. It causes a cell membrane to depolarize and produce Excitatory Post Synaptic Potentials b. It opens K+ ion channels when it binds to its receptors c. It causes a cell membrane to hyperpolarize 12. The bonding of Acetylcholine to its muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle causes gated K+ channels to close. This action is described...

If the plasma membrane (sarcoplasma) of a muscle cell were lysed (broken open) during dissection, how would that change the cell's resting membrane potential? It would eliminate the resting membrane potential (goes to zero) It would not affect the resting membrane potential of the cell. It would remain the same as that found in an intact cell. It would hyperpolarize the resting membrane potential. It would depolarize the resting membrane potential and move it closer to threshold without triggering an...
