Which of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. Extracellular signal molecules that are hydrophilic must bind to a cell- surface receptor so as to signal a target cell to change its behavior.
  2. To function, all extracellular signal molecules must be transported by their receptor across the plasma membrane into the cytosol.
  3. A specific type of type of signal molecule (e.g. acetylcholine) can mediate only one kind of cell response.
  4. Any foreign substance that binds to a receptor for a normal signal molecule will always induce the same response that is produced by that signal molecule on the same cell type.
  5. I have no idea
