Detailed explanation-1: -Cell signalling takes place in the following three stages: Binding of the signal molecule to the receptor. Signal transduction, where the chemical signals activate the enzymes. Finally, the response is observed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Depending on the ligand’s origin (from the same cell, from the neighbour cell or from far distance), recptor-ligand interaction and signaling pathway activation is classified into four different types: autocrine, endocrine, paracrine and juxtacrine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The signal transduction process links the signal molecule and the receptor protein to bring about a cellular response. 2. What are the 3 steps of signal transduction? Reception, Transduction, and Response are the three steps in the process of signal transduction.
