Which of the following statement is FALSE?Group of answer choicesa. A signaling cascade requires the recognition and conversion of information from an extracellular signaling molecule to an intracellular response.b. A stoichiometric step describes binding of one protein to activate another protein (one to one) in a signaling transduction.c. A signaling pathway can convert robust signal to weak response as a regulatory step.d. In a signaling transduction, a catalytic step is often mediated by an enzyme that converts substrates into products.e. None of the above is a false statement.
Question
Which of the following statement is FALSE?Group of answer choicesa. A signaling cascade requires the recognition and conversion of information from an extracellular signaling molecule to an intracellular response.b. A stoichiometric step describes binding of one protein to activate another protein (one to one) in a signaling transduction.c. A signaling pathway can convert robust signal to weak response as a regulatory step.d. In a signaling transduction, a catalytic step is often mediated by an enzyme that converts substrates into products.e. None of the above is a false statement.
Solution
The false statement is c. A signaling pathway can convert robust signal to weak response as a regulatory step. This is not typically the case. In general, signaling pathways amplify the signal, not weaken it. This amplification allows a small amount of signal to have a large effect within the cell.

Which of the following are true about signaling pathways and responses?Group of answer choicesThe duration of a signaling response can be influenced by positive and negative feedback loopsSome types of signaling responses occur much more quickly than othersSometimes different types of signal molecules need to be present at the same time to stimulate a particular effect in the target cellEach signal molecule influences only one type of cell response, meaning that a signal molecule that drives proliferation will not also influence metabolismThe concentration of a signal molecule does not influence the magnitude or type of responseSome signals must be present in high amounts before a target cell will respond, while others are sensitive at low concentrations
