  1. Signals affect neighboring cells
  2. Signals affect the same cell that produces them
  3. Signals are released into the bloodstream
  4. Signals require a receptor on a different cell

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of autocrine signaling?
  • Step 1: Understand what signaling molecules are. These are chemicals that cells use to communicate with each other.
  • Step 2: Learn about autocrine signaling. This is a type of signaling where a cell produces signaling molecules.
  • Step 3: Recognize the key feature of autocrine signaling. The signaling molecules released by the cell affect the same cell that produced them.
  • Step 4: Compare autocrine signaling with other types of signaling (like paracrine or endocrine) to see how it is different.
