a signal on a cell's surface is converted into a specific cellular response
signal transduction pathway
What occurs during signal transduction pathway
each cell secretes a "factor"
binding of the factors occur
nuclei fuse
gap junctions in animals and plasmodesmata in plants
cell junctions
cells communicate with help of molecules on their surfaces
cell- cell recognition
only specific target cells recognize and respond to a given chemical signal
local signaling
nerve cells release neurotransmitters to jump a synapse
synaptic signaling
What releases molecules into the environment which react w nearby cells?
Secreting cell
What is it when a secreting cell releases molecules into the environment which react with nearby cells in an animal called? It also allows what to several cells at once?
paracrine signaling & talking
hormones are released into blood and reach all body cells, but only react w target cells (occurs in plants & animals)
Endocrine signaling
