Ions can move across the plasma membrane in which of the following ways?
A) through voltage-gated channels as in the action potential
B) through passive or leak channels
C) by ATP-dependent ion pumps like the sodium-potassium exchange pump
D) through chemically-gated channels as in neuromuscular transmission
E) all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above options are correct. Ions can move across the plasma membrane through voltage-gated channels, passive or leak channels, ATP-dependent ion pumps, and chemically-gated channels. These different mechanisms allow for precise regulation of ion movement and membrane potential in various cellular processes.
