Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pheromone is a chemical produced by an animal that serves as a communication to another animal of the same species, often used for signaling messages related to mating, territory marking, or alarm. Hormones are also signaling molecules, but they are produced internally by an organism, and usually serve to regulate physiological processes within that organism. Visual signals and tactile signals, on the other hand, are forms of communication that rely on visual cues or physical touch, respectively, rather than chemical signals.
