Because of the presence of both activation and inactivation gates, voltage-gated Na⁺ channels can be in which of these states? A)closed but capable of opening B)inhibited C) partially closed D) partially opened

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage-gated Na+ channels can be in a "closed but capable of opening" state due to the presence of activation and inactivation gates. This state occurs when the activation gate is closed, but the inactivation gate is open, allowing the channel to open quickly in response to a stimulus.
