Chemical signaling refers to the process in which living organisms use chemicals to communicate with one another. It involves the release of certain substances, called chemical signals, which can be detected and interpreted by other organisms. These signals convey important information, such as warning about dangers or attracting mates, and help organisms coordinate their actions and behaviors.
