GABA and Glycine Activate Ionotropic Channels That Conduct Chloride

Multiple Choice

GABA and glycine activate ionotropic channels that conduct chloride. How does the chloride conductance inhibit excitation? Select all that apply.

A) It lowers the voltage across the membrane to below action potential threshold.
B) It blocks activation of the excitatory receptor.
C) It provides an increased resistance in the membrane, making it more difficult to depolarize the voltage across the membrane.
D) It provides increased conductance in the membrane, making it more difficult to depolarize the voltage across the membrane.
