Which system is most likely to produce the stimulus-response curve shown here,where Ti is the inhibition threshold,and Ta is the activation threshold? Which system is most likely to produce the stimulus-response curve shown here,where T<sub>i</sub> is the inhibition threshold,and T<sub>a</sub> is the activation threshold?   In the systems shown below,the concentration of molecule 3 represents the stimulus,and the concentration of molecule 2 is the response.Molecule 1 is a substrate of molecule 3.Molecule 4 is an inactive form of molecule 3.Molecule 2 activates molecule 5. In the systems shown below,the concentration of molecule 3 represents the stimulus,and the concentration of molecule 2 is the response.Molecule 1 is a substrate of molecule 3.Molecule 4 is an inactive form of molecule 3.Molecule 2 activates molecule 5.
