A Student Claims That Cell Recognition and Cell Adhesion Refer

question 81

Multiple Choice

A student claims that cell recognition and cell adhesion refer to the same function.Which statement best evaluates this claim?

• A) This statement is accurate, because cell recognition and cell adhesion rely on the ability of molecules from different cells to have complementary surfaces.
• B) This statement is accurate, because cell recognition and cell adhesion are both abolished if molecules on different cells are prevented from interacting.
• C) This statement is not accurate, because cell recognition is the basis for cell adhesion, as well as for many other functions.
• D) This statement is not accurate, because cell adhesion is the basis for cell recognition as well as for many other functions.
• E) This statement is not accurate, because cell recognition and cell adhesion have no overlap in function.
