Question

what is paracrine signaling? when a cell releases a signal molecule that only affects the cell that released it when a cell releases a signal molecule that travels a short distance to target cells nearby when a cell releases a signal molecule that travels to target cells in the same location when a cell releases a signal molecule that travels a long distance to target cells far away when a cell releases a signal molecule that is not specific to any target cells

Explanation:

Paracrine signaling involves a cell releasing a signal molecule that travels a short distance to target cells nearby. This is in contrast to autocrine signaling (affecting the same cell), endocrine signaling (long - distance travel), and non - specific signaling.

Answer:

When a cell releases a signal molecule that travels a short distance to target cells nearby
