In the presence of active chloride ion transport within a neuron, the opening of chloride channels will result in which of the following?
A) net movement of chloride into the cell
B) absence of any chloride movement
C) movement of chloride equally in both directions
D) depolarization of the cell
E) net movement of chloride out of the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The opening of chloride channels when there is active chloride ion transport typically results in a net movement of chloride into the cell, as the concentration gradient and electrochemical gradient drive chloride ions into the neuron to balance out differences in charge and concentration.
