In the experiment in Figure , the motor neuron of a muscle expressed the P2X2 transgene and the response in the muscle was recorded. Why did application of ATP activate the muscle? Figure
A) Addition of ATP activated of the P2X2 channel which directly increased transmitter release by moving vesicles to the presynaptic membrane.
B) Addition of ATP resulted in opening of the P2X2 channel and an influx of sodium, which activated the motor neuron, releasing neurotransmitter and activation of the muscle.
C) Addition of the resulted in activation of the P2X2 protein, a G protein coupled receptor. Once activated the receptor increased the probability of neurotransmitter release and activated the muscle.
D) Addition of ATP resulted in activation of the ATP receptor, a G protein coupled receptor. Once activated, this G protein indirectly activated P2X2, which increased the probability of neurotransmitter release from the motor neuron and activated the muscle.
