How do intracellular communication and intercellular communication differ?

Intracellular communication occurs between two cells.

Intercellular communication involves moving a molecule within a cell.

Intercellular communication involves passing molecules through gap junctions.

Intercellular communication involves an electrical charge moving along a cell membrane.

Intercellular communication involves an electrical charge moving along a cell membrane.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Intracellular communication means movement between two cells. The Intercellular communication means movement of molecules within a cell. All these cells are interconnected through gap junction. Gap junctions connect directly to the cytoplasm of the two cells. The communication happens through the chemical synapse.

Intercellular communication is required for the proper growth of the cells. Intracellular communication happens by signals passed on through the cell membrane to the nucleus. It is important to control the cells activities.
