During the signal transduction process, the signal often triggers a signal transduction cascade. For example, a single activated protein A molecule activates hundreds of protein B molecules, and so on, until a cellular response occurs. What purpose does this cascade serve

Answer:

The cascade amplifies the cellular signal, thereby receptor activation lead to potent responses

Step-by-step explanation:

Usual signal transduction is produced by protein phosphorylation, this posttranslational modification activates signal transductors in order to bind receptors and ligands. In multicellular organisms, the signal transduction pathways regulate critical cellular processes including, for example, cell communication
