If channels in the outer membrane of a neuron were blocked,what would be the consequence?
A)Membrane fluidity would be impaired and the neuron would undergo apoptosis.
B)Osmosis would be disrupted and the neuron would be unable to communicate.
C)Many chemicals would not be able to move into and out of the neuron,disrupting communication.
D)The neuron would be deprived of oxygen and would undergo necrotic death.

Channels in the outer membrane of a neuron allow ions and other small molecules to move in and out of the cell, which is important for communication between neurons. If these channels were blocked, many chemicals would not be able to move into and out of the neuron, disrupting communication. This could lead to a variety of consequences, depending on which channels were blocked, but impaired membrane fluidity, disrupted osmosis, or deprivation of oxygen are unlikely to be immediate consequences of channel blockage.
