In some cases,just a few hormone molecules binding to the surface of a cell can trigger a very large response because
A)each hormone can bind to transcription factors simultaneously causing amplification of the signal.
B)the signal is amplified by activation of transcription factors that each catalyze multiple reactions.
C)each hormone can bind to multiple receptors simultaneously causing amplification of the signal.
D)the hormone triggers the cell to release more hormones,amplifying the signal.
E)the signal is amplified by activation of enzymes that each catalyze multiple reactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The signal is amplified through a cascade of enzymatic reactions where each activated enzyme can catalyze multiple reactions, leading to a large response from a small initial signal.
