How does the ligand-gated channel for CFTR work?

Biology
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Ligand-gated channels require a special “key” to unlock their doors, which usually comes in the form of a small molecule.

CFTR is a ligand-gated channel, but it’s an unusual one. Its “key” is ATP, a small molecule that plays a critical role in the storage and release of energy within cells in the body. In addition to binding the ATP, the CFTR channel must snip a phosphate group – one of three “P’s” – off the ATP molecule to function. But when, where and how often this crucial event takes place has remained obscure.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Well, thecnically, all of those things happen in ecosystems. But it would probably have to be the plant eating an insect, because plants are typically used to reprersenthe producers, and I don't think a carnivorous plant is a producer.
