Chapter 39, Problem 8TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Signal transduction is otherwise known as cell signaling. A process in which the signals pass from the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell is known as signal transduction. To produce an appropriate response, the cell must receive the signals properly. This process is carried out by the cell-surface receptor.

- Hormones and signal pathways Complete the following paragraph to describe signal transduction as it occurs within plants. Choices may be used more than once or not at all. Chemical signals called play an important role in a plant's ability to respond to a stimulus. These signals bind to receptors, the first step in a cellular response called a may be located in the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, or the endoplasmic reticulum. The series of relay proteins or enzymes activated by the hormone binding the receptor make up the Some responses are immediate, while others require a like Ca*, to initiate a cellular response. The result of the transduction pathway is a which is often the transcription of specific genes, resulting in some measurable change. hormones reflex arc signal transduction pathway Signal transducers second messenger response Receptor proteins first messengerarrow_forwardIn hot, dry climates, plants have evolved mechanisms to avoid photorespiration.
