The answer is <span>C. Cells of a multicellular organism are adapted for performing a specific function.

<u>Speci</u>alised cells perform a <u>speci</u>fic function. They cannot perform <u>all</u> the functions of the organisms, but only some of them. Imagine specialised heart cells and liver cells. They do not perform all functions of the organism but are specialised for some of them. The heart cells cannot perform the liver cells functions and vice versa.</span>

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.
