Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three stages of cell signaling from the perspective of the receiving cell are signal reception, signal transduction, and cellular response. Signal reception involves the binding of a signaling molecule (ligand) to a specific receptor protein on the surface or inside the cell. Signal transduction refers to the conversion of the received signal into a form that can bring about a cellular response. Cellular response involves a change in cell behavior, such as enzyme activation, gene expression, or ion channel opening/closing.
