In signal transduction (a) an extracellular signal is converted to an intracellular signal (b) a signal is relayed through a series of molecules in the membrane (c) signal molecules are destroyed before target cells can respond to the signal (d) answers a, b, and $c$ are correct (e) only answers a and b are correct

Signal transduction pathways a. are necessary for signals to cross the membrane. b. include the intracellular events stimulated by an extracellular signal. c. include the extracellular events stimulated by an intracellular signal. d. are found only in cases where the signal can cross the membrane.

The Cells of Multicellular Organisms Communicate
During signal transduction (a) the cell converts an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal that leads to a change in some cell process (b) a signaling molecule directly activates or represses several genes (c) each enzyme catalyzes production of one molecule of product (d) enzymes in the signal cascade remain active until the last component of the pathway alters a cellular process (e) the signal is terminated by cyclic AMP
