Cell communication biology notes

👉 Cells communicate with other cells with signaling molecules. 👉 This communication helps cells respond to changes in their environment. 👉 When a cell senses a change in their environment, it will release some signaling molecule. 👉 These signaling molecules attach to receptors on adjacent cells to initiate a change in activity. .⁠ 💌 Want to work with me?

Synapses are the microscopic gaps between neurones. The neurone before the synapse is called the presynaptic neurone, and has a rounded end called the synaptic knob.

Cram for AP Biology Unit 4 – Topic 4.1 with study guides and practice quizzes to review Signal transduction, Ligand-receptor binding, Cell response, and more.

(A) Contact-dependent signaling requires cells to be in direct membrane-membrane contact. (B) Paracrine signaling depends on signals that are released into the extracellular space and act locally on neighboring cells. (C) Synaptic signaling is performed by neurons that transmit signals electrically along their axons and release neurotransmitters at synapses, which are often located far away from the cell body. (D) Endocrine signaling depends on endocrine cells, which secrete hormones into…
