Any cell that has a specific receptor for an antigen or antibody or hormone or drug

A molecule that binds specifically to another molecule, usually a larger one.

The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of chemiosmosis.

Proteins that are able to recognize and bind to specific substances outside of the cell. (Embedded in cellular membrane).

Small molecules and ions that relay signals received by cell-surface receptors to effector proteins.

The use of specific detection methodologies to directly increase the signal in proportion to the amount of target in the reaction.

The linkage of a mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic stimulus to a specific cellular response.

In cellular communication, the change in a specific cellular activity brought about by a transduced signal from outside the cell.

A response within a system that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system.

A form of regulation in which accumulation of an end product of a process slows the process.

A form of regulation in which an end product of a process speeds in that process.

The generation of offspring from a single parent that occurs without the fusion of gametes.

An ordered sequence of events un the life of a cell, from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two.

The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. Cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase.

A process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells conventionally divided into five stages. (Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase).

An abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread).

A cellular protein that occurs in a cyclically fluctuating concentration and that plays an important role in regulating the cell cycle.

Term	Definition
Target Cell	Any cell that has a specific receptor for an antigen or antibody or hormone or drug
Ligand	A molecule that binds specifically to another molecule, usually a larger one.
Phosphorylation	The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of chemiosmosis.
Receptor Protein	Proteins that are able to recognize and bind to specific substances outside of the cell. (Embedded in cellular membrane).
Secondary Messenger	Small molecules and ions that relay signals received by cell-surface receptors to effector proteins.
Signal Amplification	The use of specific detection methodologies to directly increase the signal in proportion to the amount of target in the reaction.
Signal Transduction	The linkage of a mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic stimulus to a specific cellular response.
Response	In cellular communication, the change in a specific cellular activity brought about by a transduced signal from outside the cell.
Feedback	A response within a system that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system.
Negative Feedback	A form of regulation in which accumulation of an end product of a process slows the process.
Positive Feedback	A form of regulation in which an end product of a process speeds in that process.
Asexual Reproduction	The generation of offspring from a single parent that occurs without the fusion of gametes.
Cell Cycle	An ordered sequence of events un the life of a cell, from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two.
Interphase	The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. Cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase.
Mitosis	A process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells conventionally divided into five stages. (Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase).
Cancer	An abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread).
Cyclin	A cellular protein that occurs in a cyclically fluctuating concentration and that plays an important role in regulating the cell cycle.
