Integrins Are Transmembrane Proteins That Can Reversibly Link the Cytoskeleton

Multiple Choice

Integrins are transmembrane proteins that can reversibly link the cytoskeleton of a cell to the extracellular matrix.When there is a transient period during which the cytoskeleton is not linked to the extracellular matrix, the result may be

A) decreased diffusion of water into the cell.
B) increased communication through gap junctions.
C) more stability provided to the cytoskeleton.
D) cell movement through the extracellular matrix.
E) the binding of integrins to form tight junctions.
