Based on Figure 11.16, what is the amplification factor from active adenylyl cyclase molecules to cyclic AMP cAMP molecules?

  • A: 1
  • B: 10
  • C: 100
  • D: 1000

Explanation

According to Figure 11.16, 10^2 100 molecules of active adenylyl cyclase lead to 10^4 10,000 molecules of cyclic AMP. Therefore, the amplification factor for this step is 10^4 / 10^2 = 100.
