Summary Introduction

To explain: The way yeast controls the events through a complex signaling cascade that is induced by binding of a hormone to a G protein-linked receptor.

Concept introduction: Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and respond to the stimulus. There are four sequences of events that take place in cell signaling. They are signal transmission, reception, signal transduction, and response. A ligand binds with a cell receptor and undergoes receptor‑ligand alterations and initiates a specific response.
