|
|
secondary messengers
|
|
|
ligand
|
|
|
kinases

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -They are one of the triggers of intracellular signal transduction cascades. Examples of second messenger molecules include cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, inositol triphosphate, diacylglycerol, and calcium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most molecules that lead to signal transduction are chemical substances, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors, that bind to a specific protein receptor (signaling molecule) on or in a cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -a. Describe the type of diffusion that is used to get the secondary messengers into the cell. Facilitated diffusion.
