Question

what specific type of gated channel opens or closes in response to physical distortion of the membrane surface, such as vibrations or press
answers: a - e
a electrically - gated
b leak
c ligand - gated
d voltage - gated
e mechanically - gated

Explanation:

Mechanically - gated channels respond to physical distortion like vibrations or pressure. Electrically - gated respond to electrical signals. Leak channels are always open. Ligand - gated respond to chemical ligands. Voltage - gated respond to voltage changes. So the answer is E.

Answer:

E. Mechanically - gated
