Receptors that are coupled to ion channels that regulate the number of charged particles inside the neuron are called:
A) ionotropic
B) metabotropic
C) partical
D) channel

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionotropic receptors are coupled to ion channels, allowing charged particles to flow in and out of the neuron, resulting in a rapid change in membrane potential. Metabotropic receptors, on the other hand, are coupled to G-proteins and second messenger systems, resulting in a slower and longer-lasting effect on the neuron. "Particle" is not a term typically used to describe receptors, and "channel" is too broad as all ionotropic receptors are coupled to ion channels, but not all channels are ionotropic receptors.
