11.1 Local And Long Distance Signaling

Question 0

Cell to cell recognition

Answer 0

Communication by membrane bound surface molecules

• embryonic development
• immune response

Question 1

Types of direct communication

Answer 1

Cell junctions

Cell to cell recognition

Question 2

Local signaling

Answer 2

Messenger molecules that travel short distances

Paracrine signaling
Synaptic signaling

Question 3

Growth factors

Answer 3

Compounds that stimulate nearby target cells to grow and divide

Aka type of paracrine signaling

Question 4

Paracrine signaling

Answer 4

A secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging molecules of a local regulator

Question 5

Synaptic signaling where

Answer 5

Animal nervous system

Question 6

Synaptic signaling

Answer 6

An electrical signal along a nerve cell triggers the secretion of a chemical signal carried by a neurotransmitter molecule

These diffuse across the synapse
Nerve cell -> target cell

Question 7

Hormones

Answer 7

Long distance signaling

Question 8

Hormonal signaling on animals

Answer 8

Endocrine signaling

Question 9

Endocrine signaling

Answer 9

Specialized cells release hormone molecules the a travel the circulatory system to target cells

Question 10

Pant hormones

Answer 10

Plant growth regulators

Question 11

Plant growth

Answer 11

Plant growth regulators diffuse through air or move through cells

Question 12

How does the nervous system work

Answer 12

Long distance

• electrical signal along. Nerve cell
• converted to chemical signal
• crosses the synapse
• converted to electrical
