Communication is defined as, 'The transfer of information from one molecule, cell, or organism to another, as by chemical or electrical signals or by behaviors.' WE ALL COMMUNICATE!! You may ask, how do plants do it? I haven't seen an apple tree with an Apple Phone, or a blackberry bush with a black berry! well Christen Wilcox wrote a magazine article on how plants communicate. ---> In case you don't feel like reading all of that, here's a basic summary: Cells, whether it be indie a protist, a mammal, an amphibian, or whatever, have ability to bind to receptors and in turn, are able to control the release of hormones (body chemicals that act as signals) to control body functions!! Like the flight or fight response to a stresser or like the way your pancreas knows when to release more sugars, or have your body retain more. Our Nervous System and Endocrine System are in charge of all that.A plant may communicate with animals by releasing scents in hopes of attracting a bee or humming bird to it.
