How do cell communicate with each other?

Cells produce signalling molecules such as hormones, which bind to receptors in the cell membrane. The receptors then activate relay proteins, which activate protein kinases by causing them to change shape. The protein kinases then activate other protein kinases down the line by adding phosphate groups to them from ATP until one of the kinases turns on a protein that can provoke a cellular response. Depending on the type of signal, the cell may make more signalling molecules and start the process all over in other cells.


What is the process of thermal expansion?

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.


What is produced during the process of translation?

A chain or a polypeptide is usually produced during the process of translation. This will later change into a protein.


Which process results in an electromagnetic wave?

An electric change vibrates and a magnetic field vibrates in response.


What is the process in a eukaryotic cell when DNA changes to a protein?

Protein synthesis. The question is a bit misleading. DNA doesn't change into a protein, but it transcribes a messenger RNA which translates for a particular polypeptide sequence. DNA itself is unchanged throughout the process.


How does the interaction between the carrier proteins and the substances transports resemble the interaction between and enzyme and its substrate?

Both involve the binding of a specific substance to a particular kind of protein and a change in shape of the protein as the process (transport or chemical reaction) proceeds. After the process is completed, the protein is unchanged.


Diagnostic process efforts and how they impact the change management?

The diagnostic process is critical to change management. If a manager focuses only on attacking the problems, it would be comparable to a doctor treating the symptoms rather than finding out what is causing them.

What is a Functional Response?

a change in the rate of predation by an individual predator in response to a change in the density of prey.


What causes rock on earth to change?

How are body cells reproduced?

Through the process of Mitosis, or eukaryotic cell division.
