Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binding of a specific neurotransmitter at fast synapses with the appropriate subsynaptic receptors always leads to the same change in membrane permeability because these synapses are chemically gated ion channels. The neurotransmitter binds to the receptor, which causes a conformational change that opens the ion channel and allows ions to flow across the membrane. This change in membrane permeability is always the same for a given neurotransmitter-receptor pair.
