Initial communication of environmental stimuli to the intracellular milieu via receptor-ligand binding is called
A) extracellular signaling.
B) cellular response.
C) intracellular transmission.
D) contact inhibition.
E) exocytosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial communication of environmental stimuli to the intracellular milieu via receptor-ligand binding is known as extracellular signaling. The other options do not accurately describe this process. Cellular response and intracellular transmission refer to later stages of signal transduction, while contact inhibition and exocytosis do not pertain to the initial communication of environmental stimuli to the cell.
