1) How might the binding of a molecule bound to the surface of Cell A be connected to the intracellular phosphorylation of protein Y in Cell B? (10 pts) Cell A and Cell B interact with each other through receptor-ligand or receptor-receptor interactions. To be specific‚ through the receptor-ligand interaction‚ Cell A deliver signals to Cell B by triggering the signal transduction pathways in Cell B which mediated by small molecules or proteins.
