Answer:
To predict what triggers cell-to-cell communication
Explanation:
Methodologies used for studying cell-to-cell communication includes
1) The reductionist method in which cellular response are measured based on testing specific cellular signals by the introduction of different chemicals, so as to find the source that triggers the response
2) By the application of known chemical reagents enable or block specific areas of an organism's receptors and with the aid of an electrode measure the cellular response based on generated currents of ions or by collecting and analyzing fluid samples from the affected area.
Metals generally form cations, meaning they become positively charge - this positive charge is due to the loss of electrons.
