Adhesion proteins and integrity are involved which of the following functions? 1. providing traction for the movement of cells 2. cellular differentiation 3. formation of the reticular lamina of the basement membrane 4. anchoring cells in position 5. producing impermeable barriers restricting diffusion

The correct answer is 4. Anchoring cells in position.

Cell adhesion proteins are the class of proteins found on the surface of the cell and are involved in the process of cell adhesion.

Cell adhesion is the process by which cell binds to the other cell or to the extra cellular matrix with the help of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) or proteins.

CAMs show three major types of interactions to achieve cell adhesion.

Cell adhesion proteins are also called as molecular glue as they help in anchoring the cells in the position.

The correct answer is option 4 which is anchoring cells in position.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
