|
In endocrine signaling, signals are released from a cell and bind to receptors on its own cell membrane
|
|
|
Synaptic signaling is a type of autocrine signaling
|
|
|
Paracrine signaling allows neighboring cells to communicate over relatively short distances
|
|
|
Direct signaling is a type of signaling found only in plant cells
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Paracrine signaling Often, cells that are near one another communicate through the release of chemical messengers (ligands that can diffuse through the space between the cells). This type of signaling, in which cells communicate over relatively short distances, is known as paracrine signaling.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paracrine signaling is a form of cell signaling, a type of cellular communication in which a cell produces a signal to induce changes in nearby cells, altering the behaviour of those cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer Cell signaling is necessary for multicellular organisms to control several processes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following statements is true about the paracrine messenger molecules? Sol: (d) The messenger molecules are unstable.
