Channels that open due to a compound binding to receptor sites on the extracellular surface of the channels would be considered: non gated ion channels

A.

voltage gated ion channels

B.

ligand gated ion channels

C.

g complex linked receptor proteins

D.

carrier proteins

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. voltage gated ion channels: These open in response to changes in membrane potential, not chemical binding.
B. ligand gated ion channels: Ligands (like neurotransmitters) bind to the channel, causing it to open or close.
C. G-protein complex linked receptor proteins: These are receptors that activate intracellular signaling cascades, not ion channels directly.
D. carrier proteins: Carrier proteins transport substances across membranes but do not form open channels.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. a decrease in heart rate: Low oxygen usually triggers the body to increase heart rate to deliver more oxygen-not decrease it.
B. an increase in the respiratory rate: In negative feedback, low oxygen stimulates chemoreceptors which trigger an increase in respiratory rate to bring in more oxygen.
C. a decrease in the respiratory rate: This would worsen the low oxygen state, and is contrary to how the body responds.
D. A and C: Both options are inappropriate responses to low oxygen levels.
E. A and B: While B is correct, A is not, so this combination is also incorrect.
