Answer:

paracrine signaling.

Explanation:

Chemical signaling between cells is one of the most important ways that activities of tissues and  organs are coordinated. The nervous system is the other major coordinating system in animals,  but even here chemical signaling is used between adjacent neurons. The mechanisms involved are  described as either being paracrine, autocrine, intracrine, endocrine, neuroendocrine or  pheromones. Paracrine signals diffuse locally and act on neighboring cells.

Which organic molecule would a long-distance runner most likely choose to eat before a race?
Over [174]
Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.
