Each cell type is specialized to do a particular job. Red blood cells don"t have a nucleus. Microvilli have a particular function for nutrient uptake. All these different human cell types come from the coming together of two different kind of cells (egg and sperm) They listen to each other and their external environment (they send and respond to signals) All cells are aware of where they are in the body. There will be a protein that is responsible for receiving a signal from the outside and sending it to the cell via other proteins. This signaling process is very coordinated between several proteins depending on the signal. This is called the signaling cascade (signaling transduction) Prokaryotes and eukaryotes (prokaryotes consist of anything that are not eukaryotes)
