What is the process in which one activated receptor can give rise to thousands of final products?
A) Signal transcription
B) Signal transmission
C) Signal transduction
D) Signal termination
E) Signal amplification
Signal Amplification
The process by which a few signaling molecules can elicit major responses in the cell; the strength of each signaling molecule is magnified.
Signal Transduction
The process by which a cell responds to external signals through a series of molecular changes that convert the signal into a specific cellular response.
