Which of the following is not true of integrin? Question 4 options: Integrin molecules serve as stable, permanent anchors that anchor a cell to the extracellular matrix. Integrins undergo extensive conformational changes on binding to molecules on either side of the plasma membrane. Certain intracellular chemical signals can activate integrins from inside the cell, causing them to reach out and grab hold of extracellular structures. When integrin binds to the extracellular matrix, it stretches into an extended, activated state to attach to molecules on the inside of the cell.

Integrin molecules serve as stable, permanent anchors that anchor a cell to the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

Integrins are transmembrane protein receptors that attach the cell cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM) in animal cells. These glycoproteins (integrins) are highly dynamic heterodimeric molecules that anchor cells in their position and transduce signals into and out of cells. Integrin-ligand binding activates signaling pathways that are involved in fundamental cellular functions including, among others, organization of the cell cytoskeleton, cell migration, regulation of the cell cycle, etc.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
