Question
Chapter 8, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A receptor is a molecule that is present inside or on the surface of the cell. This receptor molecule binds to its compatible signal molecule or ligand and initiates a cellular response that brings about a physiological process.

Living cells utilize a complex collection of interacting ....... to receive different signals from the cellular environment and other cells. Such processes are known collectively as ..........
Received information is called a transduced signal because:
this process often has many steps of information conversion.
it is then converted into other electrical forms.
it is then converted into other chemical forms.
many different molecules form a signaling cascade.
it is then converted into other chemicals during metabolism.
