Which of the following is not a consequence of a signal binding to a receptor?

B) Diffusion of the receptor in the plasma membrane
C) Change in conformation of the receptor protein
D) Breakdown of the receptor to amino acids
E) Release of the signal from the receptor

Breakdown of the receptor to amino acids is not a consequence of a signal binding to a receptor. Instead, it is a consequence of receptor degradation or turnover, which can occur under certain conditions but not necessarily as a direct result of signal binding. The other choices (A, B, C, and E) are all potential consequences of signal binding, depending on the specific receptor and signaling pathway involved.
