Document Summary

Is also important for populations of unicellular organisms. Common mechanisms for signaling and cellular regulation indicate ancient origins. External signals are converted into responses within the cell. Yeast cells identify their mates by cell signaling. Evolutionarily related mechanisms are in plants and animals. Cells in a multicellular organism: communicate via a variety of chemical messenger molecules, vary from small gases such as the pant hormone ethylene (c2h4) To insulin, which is a small protein with thousands of atoms that regulates sugar levels in mammals. In local signaling, animal cells may communicate via direct contact. Have cell junctions that directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. In other cases, animal cells communicate using local regulators. In long-distance signaling, both plants and animals use hormones.

There also must be a mechanism to turn the signaling off and reset the response.
