6. (15 pts) Physiological work using patch-clamp techniques during the past decade has firmly established the existence of K+ channels in the plasma membranes of plant cells. Given the appearance of "action" potentials in plant cells (as exhibited in the previous two questions (F4 and F5), how would you expect the molecular properties of these channels to compare with their animal cell counterparts? Be specific and use diagrams to illustrate your discussion.
