Cells are the basic structure

and function in organisms.

What does the word "ligand"

mean and why is important to
cellular communication?

I struggle with understanding

the process of G ProteinCoupled Receptors.

Cell communication is
necessary to having a healthy
and functioning organism.

Is it possible for a cell to send

a signal to another cell
without other cells
intercepting the message.

I struggle with understanding

the process of Receptor
Tyrosine Kinases.

Without cell communication it What is a G protein and why

would be impossible for a cell is it important to cellular
to grow as well as know when communication?
to stop growing.

Also, I struggle with

understanding the process of
the Ligand-gated ion channel
and its purpose.

Cells are able to communicate Why is apoptosis important to What do second messengers
through multiple and various keeping the organism healthy do? Why are they important to

and functioning properly?
