Not all signals require receptors; small molecules like steroids can enter the cell membrane and directly trigger a response.
Some signals, like steroids, bypass receptors by passing through the cell membrane to directly stimulate the cell.
| Text | Not all signal transduction pathways require a receptor. For example, small molecules such as steroids can pass through target cell membrane and cause the stimulus directly. |
