Active neurons need ATP to support all of the following except the A)movement of materials to the soma by axoplasmic transport. B)synthesis of neurotransmitter molecules. C)movement of materials from the soma by axoplasmic transport. D)opening of voltage-gated channels. E)recovery from action potentials.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP is not directly required for the opening of voltage-gated channels, as this process is driven by changes in membrane potential, not by ATP hydrolysis. ATP is needed for axoplasmic transport, synthesis of neurotransmitters, and recovery from action potentials.
