Which of the following is true?
A) Direct transduction is more common than indirect transduction.
B) In indirect transduction, second messengers mediate the interaction between the receptor and the cell's response.
C) Amplification never occurs via second messengers.
D) Indirect transduction occurs at the plasma membrane.
E) All of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indirect transduction involves the use of second messengers to relay signals from the receptor to the cell's response, whereas direct transduction does not. Amplification can occur via second messengers, as they can activate a cascade of downstream effectors. Indirect transduction can occur at various locations within the cell, not just at the plasma membrane. Therefore, option B is the only correct statement.
