Cell communication

Individual cells, like multicellular organisms, need to sense and respond to their environment. A typical free-living cell-evens a primitive bacterium-must be able to track down nutrients, feel the difference between light and dark, and avoid poisons and predators. And if such a cell is to have any kind of “social life,” it must be able to communicate with other cells. When a yeast cell is ready to mate, for example, it secretes a small protein called a mating factor. Yeast cells of the opposite “sex” detect this chemical mating call and respond by halting their progress through the cell cycle and reaching out toward the cell that emitted the signal
