What is the difference between ionotropic and metabotropic receptors?
What is the difference between ionotropic and metabotropic receptors?
- Ionotropic receptors are located on the presynaptic neuron, while metabotropic receptors are located on the postsynaptic neuron.
- Ionotropic receptors are responsible for inhibitory neurotransmission, while metabotropic receptors are responsible for excitatory neurotransmission.
- Ionotropic receptors are activated by G-proteins, while metabotropic receptors are activated by ions.
- Ionotropic receptors cause a rapid, short-lived response, while metabotropic receptors cause a slower, longer-lasting response. (correct)
