Membrane channels that allow ions to constantly pass through are called:
A) leak channels
B) gated channels
C) exocytosis
D) endocytosis
E) leak channels and gated channels

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leak channels are membrane channels that are always open, allowing ions to pass through the membrane without regulation. Gated channels, on the other hand, are channels that open and close in response to certain stimuli. Exocytosis and endocytosis are cellular processes that involve the movement of large molecules into or out of the cell through vesicles, and are not related to membrane channels. Therefore, the best choice is A.
