question 93

Multiple Choice

A deer smells a predator as it passes by and quickly bounds to safety.Which sequence represents the correct order of steps in the signal transduction pathway that is involved?

• A) Receptor binds signal, conformational change occurs in signal, signal travels to target cell, signal is transduced within cell, effects from signal transduction occur
• B) Signal travels to target cell, receptor binds signal, conformational change occurs in receptor, signal is transduced within cell, effects from signal transduction occur
• C) Signal travels to target cell, conformational change occurs in signal, signal is transduced within cell, effects from signal transduction occur
• D) Signal is transduced within cell, signal causes conformational change in receptor, cell responds to signal, effects from signal transduction occur
• E) Cell responds to signal, signal travels to target cell, signal is transduced within cell, effects from signal transduction occur
