Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Signalling through ligand-gated ion channels is faster than signalling through G protein-coupled receptors.
Answer: C
The channel opens directly on binding, whereas a G protein pathway involves several intermediate steps. Speed is traded against the amplification that the longer route provides. Each design suits a different kind of message.
