The channel being recorded spends more time open than it does closed.
The flow of ions through the channel is indicated by the increase in current.
Sodium flows through the channel more often than calcium.
The channel allows both negative and positive ions to flow through.
None of these is true.

Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Caffeine is an agonist for the ryanodine receptor. What effect would an increase in intracellular caffeine have on muscle cells? Why? There may be multiple correct answers.
Respuesta
Muscle cells would contract more often because calcium would be released more often from the SR.
Muscles would become more stiff because calcium would be removed from the cell more quickly.
Muscle contraction would be stronger because more calcium would be released into the cytoplasm.
None of these.

Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Which of the following are true about voltage-gated ion channels?
Respuesta
Size of pore and ability of channel to strip ion of water molecules determines which ions are allowed through.
They only participate in passive transport.
Most of them are opened by depolarization.
Some of them contain an inactivating loop.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
__________________ ATPases are responsible for pumping protons ________ their electrochemical gradient into vesicles. The proton gradient is then used to transport neurotransmitter __________ the vesicles.
