Chapter 6.5, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To predict: The potential consequences of failure of signal termination.
Concept introduction: Signal transduction is the process of conversion of an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal. It involves a cascade of molecules that transfers the information. A signal must be terminated to stop the action of activated pathways.
