Detailed explanation-1: -Signal transduction pathways amplify the incoming signal by a signaling cascade using a network of enzymes that act on one another in specific ways to ultimately generate a precise and appropriate physiological response by the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Signal transduction pathways regulate many important cellular functions such as growth, differentiation, metabolism, and survival.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amplification allows a cell to respond to many different hormones.
Detailed explanation-4: -The amplification of signals, defined as an increase in the intensity of a signal through networks of intracellular reactions, is considered one of the essential properties in many cell signalling pathways.
Detailed explanation-5: -Multi-step pathways (signaling cascades) can amplify a signal; even just a few molecules can cause a large cell response. Advantage: multi-step pathways can provide for more ways to coordinate and regulate the response. Multi-step pathways also allow for more specificity in the response.
