Detailed explanation-1: -Signal transduction is the process in which binding of an extracellular messenger to the cell surface receptor is translated into changes in biochemistry, cell biology, and gene transcription that make it possible for the cell to respond to the information that was received.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because membrane receptors interact with both extracellular signals and molecules within the cell, they permit signaling molecules to affect cell function without actually entering the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Signal transduction is the process of cells sensing signals in their environment to change their behavior. The steps of signal transduction are known as a signal transduction pathway. The signal transduction pathway has three main steps: Reception: The process by which a cell detects a signal in the environment.
