Membranes provide for

,4) Communication :
-
Communication is important so that different cells can coordinate their activities.
Hormones are molecules
synthesized by plants and animals in
responseto a stimulus.
↳ bind to receptors ,
and when that happens they activate chemical reactions in the cell .
Cell surfaces also contain receptors for :
Growth Factors :

Mitogens regulate
