Which statement accurately compares GPCRs and RTKs?
GPCRs often activate multiple pathways, but RTKs only stimulate one (or very few).
Both will become phosphorylated upon ligand binding.
Both have transmembrane spanning alpha helical segments
RTKs typically activate G-proteins, and GPCRs typically inhibit G-proteins.
