1)

It serves as a passageway for particles to permeate the plasma membrane.

2)

It mediates cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions.

3)

It provides mechanical protection for cells.

4)

It binds important regulatory factors that act on the cell surface.

Q 2 ) Which type of proteins are common to a cell's Extracellular Matrix (ECM)?

1)

Laminins

2)

Proteoglycans

3)

Insulin

4)

Glucose transporters

5)

Collagens

6)

Explanation / Answer

1) Option 4 does not support the statement because glycolax doesnot bind important regulatory factors that act on the cell surface.

2) I think Laminins, Fibronectins and collagens are the type of proteins which are common to a extra cellular matrix(ECM).
