Lesson Objective

Explain the role of environment and signal transduction pathways in determining cellular response, including the amplification of signals through phosphorylation cascades and second messengers.

How does a single signaling event lead to a massive cellular response?

In what ways do second messengers change the behavior of proteins within a cell?

4.3-Signal Transduction Pathways

Explain the cascade of molecular reactions that happen between receiving a signal and executing a final action.
