B)They open and close in response to changes in the membrane potential. C)They are found on excitable membranes. D)They have both an activation gate and an inactivation gate that work dependent of each other. E)None of these is false.

The statement "They have both an activation gate and an inactivation gate that work dependent of each other" is not true. Voltage-gated sodium channels have an activation gate that opens in response to depolarization and an inactivation gate that closes after a brief period of time to stop the influx of sodium ions. These gates work independently of each other.
