Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four basic categories of chemical signaling found in multicellular organisms: paracrine signaling, autocrine signaling, endocrine signaling, and signaling by direct contact.

Detailed explanation-2: -The different types of cell signalling include: Paracrine signalling. Autocrine signalling. Endocrine signalling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell-surface receptors come in three main types: ion channel receptors, GPCRs, and enzyme-linked receptors.

Detailed explanation-4: -The three stages of cell communication (reception, transduction, and response) and how changes couls alter cellular responses. How a receptor protein recognizes signal molecules and starts transduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three main ways for cells to connect with each other are: gap junctions, tight junctions, and desmosomes. These types of junctions have different purposes, and are found in different places.
