A small number of cell surface receptors can ultimately generate a large intracellular response due to activation of kinase cascades.This is referred to as:
A)signal amplification.
B)signal transduction.
C)signal dampening.
D)signal activation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Signal amplification occurs when a small number of cell surface receptors activate a series of kinase cascades, leading to a large intracellular response. This allows for a more robust response to a given signal, amplifying the cellular response to a stimulus.
