How can a target cell's response to a hormone be amplified more than a millionfold?

Basically a hormone binds to an membrane receptor or a target inside of the cell, changing the conformation of the receptor. In the receptor's new conformation, it typically has a new enzymatic activity or a subunit with enzymatic activity is released or other reactions may occur. The point is, the binding of hormone to receptor acts to turn on a molecular "switch" enabling a biochemical pathway to proceed. A downstream enzyme is activated and can then activate further downstream enzymes. Each enzyme is capable of activating several downstream enzymes and in this way, a single hormone messenger can cause the activation of several times more downstream elements. Typically, a transcription factor will eventually be activated and a gene will be turned on, creating mRNA. This mRNA will be translated into protein, which further alters the cellular behavior.
