E) mediate cell-to-cell recognition

The correct answer is E) mediate cell-to-cell recognition

Explanation:

Cell to cell recognition is important for a cell to know and distinguish its neighbor cells.

The function of membrane protein is thus;

• Intercellular adhesion • Cell-cell recognition • Attachment to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix.

Intercellular adhesion is one way cell to cell communication happen contact with other cells by interaction with their specialized protein complex.

The contact between cells is accomplished with the aidof polysaccharides attached to the glycoproteins and glycolipids of animal cell membranes .

This type of communication is important for cell to multiply and function as one in organs like in the spleen, spleen cell only works when they are surrounded by more spleen cells.

So the right answer is E) mediate cell-to-cell recognition.

multiplying and dividing the two decimals and the eqations by the same number of the overalls

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
