| Description: (a) A voltage-gated ion channel allows ions to diffuse into the cell. These channels open or close depending on changes in charge (voltage) across the membrane. (b) A ligand-gated ion channel opens or closes in response to ligand binding. In the example here, the binding of a neurotransmitter opens the channel.
