Detailed explanation-1: -Chemotaxis is the directed migration of a cell in response to a chemical stimulus, such as a growth factor. The specific ligands and receptors used in chemotaxis vary among cell types, as do the specific mechanisms used to relay chemotactic signals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemotaxis in microbiology refers to the migration of cells toward attractant chemicals or away from repellents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemotaxis refers to the movement of organisms/cells guided by gradients of certain chemical signals in the environment. In the presence of a chemical gradient, the cell directs its overall movement toward the highest concentration of the chemoattractant, or away from a chemorepellent.

Detailed explanation-4: -The movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus is called chemotaxis, and Fraenkel and Gunn proposed that animals that are attracted to a chemical will move in straight lines, and stop whenever the concentration of the chemical decreases.
