Question

What are the four steps of cell signaling?

Answer 1

Answer:

reception, transduction, response, resetting

Answer 2

The four steps of cell signaling are reception, transduction, response, resetting.

Explanation:

• The cell that has the ability to receive, process and transmit signals with itself and its environment is called cell signaling.
• The first step of cell signaling is reception.
• In the first step, the signaling molecules are detected from extracellular environment.
• The second step of cell signaling is transduction.
• A series of events are initiated in this step, when the signaling molecules bind to the receptors.
• The third step of cell signaling is response.
• In this step, depending on the received signal, the cell will respond in number of ways.
• The fourth step of cell signaling is resetting.
• The series of events is stopped when the signal molecule detached from the cell receptor and it resets the cell to normal state.
