A small number of surface receptors can ultimately generate a large intracellular response,as each step of the pathway is often expanded by
A)enzymatic receptors.
B)gated ion channels.
C)signal amplification.
D)G-protein-coupled receptors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Signal amplification refers to the process by which a small number of surface receptors can ultimately generate a large intracellular response. Each step of the pathway is often amplified, resulting in a larger and more robust response. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
