Question

3. How do cells respond to contact
with other cells?

Answer 1

Cells use the proteins called receptors which can bind the signaling molecules and initiate a physiological response with the other cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The cell to cell interaction is also known as Cellular interaction. The cells that can communicate with each other in three ways Gap junctions, Tight Junctions, desmosomes.

• The signaling of cells allows communicating with adjacent cells and distant cells.

• Ligand binding to the receptor allows for signal transduction in the cell. To terminate the ligand will be removed from the access with the receptor.
