So the influx of ions from the outside of the cell to the inside of And you can think of ion channels as being gated, by gated it means the gate can be closed and no ions are going through, as in this case here.

下面以离子从细胞外部流入内部,你可以把离子通道想象成是有闸门的，也就是说闸门可以关上,这时没有离子能通过，就像这种情况。

The one that's on the top here is called ligand-gated ion channel and an ion channel is a protein that sits in the surface of a cell.

最上面的这个叫作配体门控离子通道,离子通道是一类位于细胞表面的蛋白

So, for example, in an electrochemical cell, it would be possible to take the sodium ion, give back its electron, and convert it into a metallic sodium, take the chloride ion, remove its electron, and restore chlorine gas.

所以，例如一个电化学的电池，它可能带有钠离子，让它得到电子，把它变成金属钠，得到氯离子，让它失去电子，作为氯气储存。
