Cell signaling involves detection (reception) and transduction, which elicits a cellular response. Which is not true of transduction? May involve many steps (pathway) or only one step. Each pathway can lead to only one response. May be propagated by proteins or secondary messengers. May amplify the signal. Begins when a receptor is activated by a messenger molecule and changes conformation.
