15831787876Autocrinewithin the same cell1
15831793171Juxtocrinebetween touching cells2
15831798699Paracrinebetween nearby cells3
15831810553Endocrinebetween distant cells through the bloodstream4
158318539213 parts of signal transduction pathwayreception, transduction, response5
15831949375Reception (signal transduction pathway)Ligand binds to receptor protein6
15831958162Transduction (signal transduction pathway)the signal travels through the cell to the response site. Amplification and phosphorylation happen here7
15832016946response (signal transduction pathway)the cell carries out the action sent by the ligands8
15832051216Signal amplificationturns one signal molecule into multiple second messenger molecules9
15832072735Ligandmolecule that binds to a specific receptor10

15832326792cytokinesis in plantsrebuild the cell wall (partially finished wall is called the cell plate)23
15832338501cytokinesis in animalspinch in the cell membrane creating a cleavage furrow until the membrane meets and separates the cell24
15832345836cytokinesiscytoplasm dividing25
15832355519Stages of mitosisprophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT)26
15832358461Prophase definitionnucleus vanishes, chromosomes form, spindle sets up27
15832366123Metaphase definitionchromsomes move to the middle of the cell28
15832370111Anaphase definitionchromosomes split into 2 separate chromosomes and move to opposite sides of the cell29
15832382399Telophase definitionnucleus reappears, spindle fibers disassemble, chromosomes unwind30
15832404811Chromatinthe form of DNA when it is not dividing31
15832406753Chromosomethe form of DNA when it is dividing32
15832410087Histoneprotein that DNA wraps around33
