CELL COMMUNICATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
From the perspective of the cell receiving the message, the three stages of cell signaling are
A
signal reception, signal transduction, and cellular response.
B
signal reception, nucleus disintegration, and new cell generation
C
the alpha, beta, and gamma stages.
D
signal reception, cellular response, and cell division.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three main steps in this pathway: signal reception, which is when the target cell receives a signaling molecule; transduction, which is a series of events that converts the signal to something the target cell can respond to; and cellular response, which is when the target cell responds to the signal.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three stages of cell communication (reception, transduction, and response) and how changes couls alter cellular responses. How a receptor protein recognizes signal molecules and starts transduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Membrane receptors fall into three major classes: G-protein-coupled receptors, ion channel receptors, and enzyme-linked receptors.
