Discussion
If a receptor activates 100 G proteins and each leads to 1,000 second messenger molecules, how many messengers result from one receptor?
Answer: B
Multiplying 100 by 1,000 gives 100,000, which shows how a very small signal produces a very large internal response. Adding the two numbers instead is the usual error. Amplification is multiplicative at every stage of a cascade.
