Which of the following is NOT an action needed for glutamate to open ion channels? A)NMDA receptor must bind to glycine B)the membrane must be partially depolarized from the action of a different neurotransmitter C)Cl^- must pass through the open channel D)Mg²⁺ is released from NMDA channel to open it

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cl^- is not a known molecule or ion involved in glutamate signaling or ion channel opening. Therefore, it cannot be an action needed for glutamate to open ion channels. A, B, and D are all known steps that contribute to NMDA receptor activation and ion channel opening.
