Signal transduction in cells is defined as a. transmission of molecular signals from outside the cell into the cell via cell-surface receptors. b. transmission of molecular signals from inside the cell to the exterior via exocytosis c. transmission of molecular signals within the organelles d. transmission of molecular signals through transcription and translation

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
