The detection of odorants occurs via the binding of organic molecules to receptors on the cell membrane, activating_________ that ultimately causes the __________. A) G_olf: cation channel to open B) gustducin : potassium channel to close C) G_olf: potassium channel to open D) transducin : potassium channel to open E) gustducin : sodium channel to close

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The detection of odorants involves the binding of odorant molecules to receptors, which activates the G_olf protein. This activation leads to the opening of cation channels, allowing ions to flow into the cell and initiating a signal transduction pathway.
