Question

Which of the following is the greatest advantage of having multiple steps in a transduction pathway? a. Having multiple steps provides for greater possible amplification of a signal. b. Each step can be activated by several G proteins simultaneously. c. Many of the steps can be used in multiple pathways. d. Each individual step can remove excess phosphate groups from the cytoplasm. e. Having multiple steps in a pathway requires the least amount of ATP.

Answer 1

The correct answer is a having multiple amplification steps provides for greater possible amplification of a signal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Signal transduction is is process one cell interact will another cell by sending specific chemical ans biochemical signal to that cell so that the cell receiving the signal can carry out the important cellular functions time to time.

The greatest advantage of having multiple steps in a transduction pathway is to provide greater possibility for the amiplification of a paticular signal which is also called signal transduction cascade.

For example MAP kinase pathway consist of 3 proteins Mek,raf and erk along with multiple steps which helps in the proper amplification of a particular signal.
