Biology

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when one atom (usually a metal) donates its valence electrons to another atom (usually a non-metal) so they attain stable electron configuration. The two atoms become joined by electrostatic forces which result from the charges acquired by the atoms as a result of donating or receiving electrons.

An example is NaCl. Na (2.8.1) donates its one valence electron to achieve the stable configuration of (2.8.8) while CL (2.8.7) receives the electron to achieve stable electron configuration of 2.8.8. The Na is left with a positive charge while Cl is left with a negative charge. The two charged atoms attract each other and form an ionic bond.

Signal transduction is the process by which:
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

An extracellular molecule activates a membrane protein, which in turn activates molecules inside the cell.

Explanation:

Signal transduction may be defined as the cellular process in which the signal is transmitted into the cells. The signal transduction results in the detection of the stimuli and the effects generated in the body.

The signal transduction initiates the series of cascade for the signal transmission. The protein is activated by the extracellular molecule and activates the different molecules by the phosphorylation at the different steps of the transduction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
