Question 16

ligand

Answer 16

signaling molecule

Question 17

receptor

Answer 17

molecule to which ligand binds to

Question 18

five basic mechanism for cellular communication

Answer 18

direct contact
paracrine signaling
endocrine signaling
synaptic signaling
autocrine signaling

Question 19

paracrine signaling

Answer 19

communication through the release of chemical messengers, short distance

Question 20

synaptic signaling

Answer 20

nerve cells transmit signals

Question 21

autocrine signaling

Answer 21

cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to receptors on its own surface

Question 22

endocrine signaling

Answer 22

signals are produced and released into the bloodstream, which carries them to cells in distant parts of the body

Question 23

direct contact

Answer 23

Gap junctions in animals and plasmodesmata in plants are tiny channels that directly connect neighboring cells

Answer 25

enzyme adds phosphate to a protein

Question 26

phosphatase

Answer 26

enzyme removes a phosphate from a protein
