ADP - adenosine Diphosphate= stable and not much energy, ATP - Triphosphate= unstable and lots of potential energy, Autocrine Response - A cell signaling pathway with itself to produce a specific type of response, Cell to Cell communication - Two cells that are touching being able to communicate with each other, Dynamic Equilibrium - Where both sides of the concentration are equal in percent and the amount on each side transfering is equal, Endocrine Response - A cell signaling pathway that produce a response from a cell far away from the original cell, Excrete - To release a substance outside the body, External - Happening outside the body, Homeostasis - The balance of internal and external conditions for an organism, Internal - Happening inside the body, Ligand - A protein or hormone that binds to a peripheral protein found on the outside of the cell membrane, Multicellular - An organism consisting of more than one cell, Negative feedback loop - A feedback system that increases or decreases depending on the specific needs for that organism. Used to maintain homeostasis, Paracrine Response - Two cells that are close to one another but not directly touching able to communicate with each other, Positive feedback loop - A feedback system that continues to increase until the function meets the needs for that organism. Used to maintain homeostasis., Regulate - The ability to maintain homeostasis specific control of a response., Response - What an organism does in response to a stimuli, Secrete - To release a substance within the body, Sensory structure - An organ in the body that picks up stimuli from outside or inside, Stimulus - A detectable change from a physical or chemical change found either in the inside or outside of the body, Transduction pathway - A series of stimuli that cause chemical response in a cell, Unicellular - A organism that only consists of one cell,
