Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrins are glycoproteins that bind to components in the extracellular matrix and act as adhesion molecules between cells and the matrix. Glycocalyces are sugar coatings on the surface of cells, aquaporins are membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water across cell membranes, and desmosomes are cell-to-cell junctions that provide structural support.
