Sensory transduction requires:
A)a change in membrane potential.
B)reaction of a receptor protein with a stimulus.
C)alteration of the conformation of a channel protein.
D)All of these choices are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory transduction involves the conversion of a stimulus into an electrical signal, which ultimately results in a change in membrane potential through the opening or closing of ion channels. This process is initiated by the binding of the stimulus to a receptor protein, causing a conformational change that allows for ion flow through a channel protein. Therefore, all three choices are necessary for sensory transduction to occur.
