Answer #1

Voltage-gated channels and ligands are outer membrane proteins that are responsible to allow the passive diffusion ( movement from higher concentration to lower concentration )of small molecules transmitted across the membrane.

repolarization and depolarisation is responsible for the regulation of ions across the membrane and transportation of the signals .

there are 2 ion channels Na and K ion channels. when dephosphorylation occurs ATP converted to form ADP & Pi, at that time sodium channel open and 2 molecules of sodium go out from the cell. due to passive diffusion now the potassium channel gets phosphorylated to form ATP, due to that sodium channel again close and potassium channel get open for the movement of potassium ions.
