- What type of signal transduction is involved in signaling from hormones such as estrogen and testosterone? Explain the signal transduction pathway that occurs. 1. Is there a short term description for signal transduction, instead wrting multiple words to descripte the type of signal transduction? Can I just identify it as active signal transduction and inactive signal transduction. Based on my understanding, active singal transduction is for the fast react transdcution, while inactive signal transduction meanly refers the hormonal affacts on the system. 2. For Ion channels, specific enzymes are both involed activated and inactivated signal transduction?arrow_forwardWhat are the basic principles of signal transduction pathways?arrow_forwardWhat is signal transduction ?arrow_forward
- What are two common ways by which signal transduction pathwaysenhance the activity of specific enzymes?arrow_forwardDefine the term signal transduction?arrow_forwardA signal transduction pathway leads to the regulation of one or more cellular activities. What does that mean? Explain in your own words step by step (as simpler as possible)arrow_forward
- Eukaryotic signal transduction pathways often involve multiple proteins transmitting a signal from the cell surface to the nucleus. What advantage is gained through the use of multiple steps? Many signal transduction pathways are used in different cell types for entirely different purposes, leading to the transcription of different genes. How might different cell types be able to use a single signal transduction pathway to bring about such different results?arrow_forwardWhat event is common to ALL signal transduction pathways? A) Calcium ions bind to/ activate proteins. B) Cyclic nucleotides are formed. C) Proteins change in shape. D) Phosphates are transferred between molecules. E) Protons are transferred between molecules.arrow_forwardWhat is signal transduction? Illustrate and describe the molecular events in signal transduction pathways involving 1) G-protein-coupled receptors and 2) enzyme linked receptors.arrow_forward
