Question
Chapter 6.3, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To explain: What is the function of most intracellular receptors.
Concept introduction: Cell is the fundamental unit of life. Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and responds to the stimulus. This is helpful for growth, development, and normal functioning of the cells of the multicellular organism.
