When blood sugar levels are low, alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a peptide hormone that binds to glucagon receptors of the liver. These glucagon receptors are membrane-bound G-protein coupled receptors. This binding leads to a signal cascade that results in the cleavage of glucose monomers off stored glycogen in liver cells. The binding of glucagon and resulting response is an example of ______. A. proteolysis B. signal transduction C. quorum sensing D. homeostasis

Cell Signaling

It allows cells to perform various cellular activities, coordinate, and interact with other cells. All cells of an organism receive signals from their environments and respond accordingly. Even the unicellular eukaryotes receive signals secreted by other cells and respond. In the case of yeast, mating takes place by signaling between the yeast cells. Communication by cell signaling in a multicellular organism has become a vast and important part of various fields of biology.
