Odorant binding to receptors on the olfactory sensory neurons does all of the following EXCEPT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Odorant binding to receptors on olfactory sensory neurons typically results in the depolarization of the cell, not hyperpolarization. This process involves activating a G protein, increasing ion entry (such as Ca2+), and opening Cl- channels, all contributing to depolarization and the initiation of a signal to the brain.
