In the salamander, the sour taste receptor cells function by having an apically localized K+ channel that is blocked by protons. When protons are applied, what happens to the membrane potential and why?

A) Receptor depolarization because K+ permeability, which normally maintains a hyperpolarized resting state is reduced. B) Receptor hyperpolarization because H+ ions move into the cell and render it more positively charged. C) Receptor hyperpolarization because the H+ ions outside the cell make the inside of the cell more negatively charged. D) Nothing will happen until the G-protein is activated.
