Can a cell have multiple responses to one stimulus?
A) Yes, such as a second messenger activating a kinase and a transcription factor
B) No, one stimulus = one response.
C) Yes, but only if the stimulus activates two different types of receptors, like a GPCR and a protein kinase receptor at the same time
