Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three stages of cell signaling are signal reception (where the cell detects a signaling molecule outside the cell), signal transduction (where the signal is converted to a form that can bring about a specific cellular response), and cellular response (the final action taken by the cell in response to the signal).
