B) signal transduction, reception, response
C) signal transduction, response, reception
D) reception, signal transduction, response

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell-signaling process starts with the reception of a signal by a receptor protein on the surface of the cell membrane. This is followed by the activation of signal transduction pathways which transmit the signal across the cell membrane and into the cell. Finally, the response to the signal is produced by the target proteins within the cell. The correct sequence is therefore reception, signal transduction, and response, which is represented by choice D.
