The movement of ions through ion channels is: Active transport Passive transport Osmosis Endocytosis None 12. Ion channels in neurons open briefly and close again. This behavior is called: Tunneling Inactivation Polarization Fusion None 13. The gating of ion channels refers to: Direction of ion flow Ion selectivity Opening and closing of the channel Synthesis of ion channels None 14. Which ion is most abundant inside the cell? Na⁺ K⁺ Cl⁻ Ca²⁺ None 15. Which factor does not affect ion flow through a channel? Membrane voltage Ion size Oxygen level Concentration gradient None 16.
