Answered

Some hormones bind to ion channels on neurons and cause them to open. This would be an example of a:
a. ligand-gated channel
b. mechanically gated channel
c. voltage-gated channel
d. none of the above are correct

Answer :

The hormones that bind to ion channels on neurons and cause them to open represent an example of ligand-gated channels (Option a).

What are ligand-gated channels?

Ligand-gated channels are specific receptors on the cell membrane that bind to different molecules.

This binding can cause a concomitant cellular response such as activating a phosphorylation-associated signaling pathway.

In conclusion, hormones and their receptors are an example of ligand-gated channels (Option a).
