In communication between cells, the SIGNALING CELL produces the signaling molecule, also known as the LIGAND; the RESPONDING CELL produces the RECEPTOR, to which the signaling molecule binds,

Explanation:

The term cell signaling refers to the mechanisms by which cells communicate with one another and mainly includes cells, ligands, and receptors. To send a signal, the signaling cell synthesizes and release signaling molecules called ligands. The ligands are to be transported if the responding cells are distantly located.

As the signal molecule reaches the responding cell, it binds to the receptors present on the surface of the responding cells. This process is called reception as the responding cell receives the signals. Some cells produce cytosolic or nuclear receptors for their signaling molecules.
