Question
Membrane channels that allow ions to constantly pass through are called _________.Multiple Choiceleak channelsgated channelsendocytosisBoth “leak channels” and “gated channels” are correct.exocytosis
Solution
The correct answer is "leak channels". These are membrane channels that are always open and allow ions to pass through constantly. Gated channels, on the other hand, open and close in response to specific signals, so they do not allow ions to constantly pass through. Endocytosis and exocytosis are processes of cellular transport, not types of membrane channels.
