Signal molecules act as a neurotransmitter or a hormone, which both effect how a cell functions.
the mechanism for this function is passive and active trasnport.
Signal molecules bind to specific receptor proteins on the outside surface of the plasma membrane. This triggers a chain reaction of events that passes the signal to molecules inside the cell
Direct activities of the cell give the function of the cell membrane. Globular proteins create narrow passageways or channels. The nucleus directs the cell's functions.
The protein molecules in the cell membrane consist of adenine, 5 carbon sugars and three phosphate groups.
The cell membrane is selectively-permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.
Molecules contain instructions for cells to function.
The transport of molecules into and out of the cell through osmosis and diffusion
The cell clock is basically a group of molecules which appear after a cell dies. These molecules signal a cell around the area of the dead cell to replace it. After a cell is signaled then it begins the cell cycle.
Before we attempt an Answer we need to know how many dozens of types of signal molecules exist in a Cell's cytoplasm.

1) holds in the molecules that allow the cell to function (to be alive). 2) keeps out most foreign molecules. 3) "contains" transport molecules that move specific molecules in and out.

All of the functions and molecules of a cell are affected by it's DNA. All of the molecules of a cancerous cell could potentially change. This includes the glycocolyx, the membrane proteins, and lipids.
