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.
Answer:
Although more offsprings are produced by the process of external fertilization but the process of internal fertilization is more efficient as compared to external fertilization. This is because, in external fertilization, it is more difficult for the sperm to find the egg and fertilize it. Even after fertilization, it might be that the zygote gets eaten up by a predator. There are none such risks in internal fertilization. The zygote is protected during the internal fertilization which makes this process more efficient.
