Answer:

Outside cell:Signals coming from other cells

Inside cell: Cell stress, weak external signals

Step-by-step explanation:

Apoptosis can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Where it is intrinsic, signal for Apoptosis comes from within the cell(in this case cell stress or weak external signal) apoptosis; death of cell occurs. Extrinsic signal occurs where the cell gets signals from other cells and apoptosis takes place.
