Study Notes
Lecture 1: Introduction to Signalling in Multicellularity
- Primary focus: Introducing the concept of signalling in multicellularity and its importance
Signalling in Multicellularity
- Function: Enables cells to communicate and coordinate their behaviour to form and maintain a multicellular organism
Cells in Multicellular Organisms
- Described as: Social entities that communicate with each other to achieve common goals
Signalling in Biology
- Compared to: A wireless communication network, where cells are the devices and signals are the transmitted information
Lecture 2: Signalling Series
- Topic: Intercellular signalling mechanisms and their role in development and homeostasis

Description
Test your knowledge on cell signalling in multicellularity with this quiz based on Tom Pratt's lecture series "Cells to Organisms 2 signalling." Explore the mechanisms of signalling over long, intermediate, and short distances, and gain insights into the role of cell signalling in multicellular structures and sexual dimorphism.
