The resistance potential of membrane of cell is altered by voltage gated Ion channels opening

Explanation:

The trans-membrane proteins that form the Ion channels in a cell membrane is referred to as voltage gated Ion channels. When there is a change in the potential of the cell membrane this channel is formed. It alters the resistance potential of membrane and alter the shapes of the proteins and controls there opening and closing.

Trans-membrane protein channels allow the ions to enter the membrane through diffusing process. This voltage-gated channel is specific to molecules of ions. The opening of the channel is induced by change of concentration in the membrane
