Cell Communication

The cell communication unit focussed  on how a cell gives and receives messages with it's environment and with itself. Cells can communicate directly with one another. They can change their own internal working in response by way of chemical and mechanical signals. In multicellular organisms, cell signaling allows for specialization of groups of cells. In single celled organisms, signaling allows populations of cells to coordinate with one another and work like a team to accomplish tasks no single cell could carry out its own.The unit was very interesting. one activity that I liked was mouse party. During this activity you got to the the effects of different drugs on mice.
