Answer: ​ionotropic; metabotropic

Explanation:

A receptor can directly open the channel and exerts an ionotropic effect. The ionotropic effect takes place by the help of ionotropic receptors. These receptors are membrane bound receptor proteins which responds by the bonding of the ligand.

Due to ligand binding the channel opens and allows the movement of ions into the cells which helps in either increasing or decreasing the action potential.

The receptors can also bind to the ligand and produce metabotropic effect which means by the second messenger.

What are the functions of proteins in cells and viruses?​
allochka39001 [22]
A viral protein is both a component and a product of a virus. Viral proteins are grouped according to their functions, and groups of viral proteins include structural proteins, nonstructural proteins, regulatory proteins, and accessory proteins.[1] Viruses are non-living and do not have the means to reproduce on their own, instead depending on their host cell's resources in order to reproduce. Thus, viruses do not code for many of their own viral proteins, and instead use the host cell's machinery to produce the viral proteins they require for replication

How do tectonic plate interactions cause earthquakes?
djyliett [7]

Friction between tectonic plates, which further lock them, leads to earthquakes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tectonic plates move slowly, but at times there is friction between them. This friction locks them, and that leads to difficulty in movement. Whereas, other tectonic plates keep on moving, which leads to high pressure at the locked section.  

This lock section tries to resist pressure, and the movement of plates is passed to each other. This rapid movement leads to a tectonic earthquake. The energy released during the change of plates causes the Earth's crust to shake, and that's how we feel shaking.
