Question

Receptor is removed from cell surface in _____________

(a) Specificity

(b) Amplification

(c) Adaptation

(d) Integration

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

My doubt stems from Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction topic in section Biosignalling of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Adaptation

The best explanation: A regulatory outcome result from integrated input from both receptors is in integration.

Signal molecule fits its binding site on its complementary receptor called as specificity.

Number of affected molecules increases geometrically in an enzyme cascade in amplification.
