In an ionotropic receptor, which of the following is FALSE regarding ligand binding? (Reminder: Ligand = chemical messengers such as neurotransmitters)

-Ligands bind on the intracellular space of the postsynaptic neuron
-Ligand binding occurs outside of the cell membrane
-Ligand binding triggers protein conformational changes
-Ligands cannot bind without the actions of Ca2+

For a neurotransmitter to have nay effect on a post-synaptic neuron, what must exist on the post-synaptic membrane?

-Enzymes that break down the NT
-Receptors for the NT
-BBB
-I'd tell you a chemistry joke but all the good ones Argon
