This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Short Distance Signaling, producing "alpha factor" and then the "opposite" factors are received by "opposite strain receptor proteins" (on the PLBL), intercellular channels including "Gap Junctions" (in animals & protists), are mobile can move and find each other & coordinate their aggregating behavior to form bacterial "biofilms" (ex: plaque on teeth; films on hospital tubing), cells that exchange their cytoplasm via intercellular channels, allows offspring to be different from parents which is beneficial in a changing environment, Short Distance Signaling can occur between cells that exchange their cytoplasm, "Paracrine Signaling": = Growth Factors (but not hormones) that stimulate nearby cells to divide & grow (why they are called "growth factors"), "alpha" strain yeast "signals" by producing "alpha factor", cells that communicate via "Plasma Membrane Recognition Proteins" (PMRPs) used by bacteria, protists, Fungi (yeast) for example Saccharomyces cervisae, cells that communicate via "Plasma Membrane Recognition Proteins" (PMRPs) used by Fungi (yeast), "a" strain yeast signals by producing "a" factor, animal cells that signal in specific ways including Synaptic Signaling = nerve transmission, genetic variability that is passed on to "offspring" s.a. cells, animal cells that signal in specific ways including "Paracrine Signaling": = Growth Factors (but not hormones), genetic variability that allows offspring to be different from parents, Short Distance Signaling can occur between cells that communicate via "Plasma Membrane Recognition Proteins" (PMRPs), Intercellular Communication between Yeast mating strains (See Fig. 11.2) when environmental conditions degrade and "sex" is advantageous (for genetic recombination), "transduced" causing cells to grow towards each other and fuse = "mate", "Gap Junctions" (in animals & protists) which are proteins that not only allow cytoplasmic exchange, but also are considered "protein junctions" & provide intercellular support
