Which of the following statements represents a fundamental difference between the fibers found in the extracellular layers of plants and those of animals?
a. Plant fibers resist compression forces; animal fibers resist pulling forces.
b. Animal fibers consist of proteins; plant fibers consist of

What does it mean to say that a signal is transduced?
The signaling molecule enters the cell directly and binds to a receptor inside.
The physical form of the signal changes between the outside of the cell and the inside.
The signal is amplified, such that even a single molecule evokes a large response.
The signal triggers a sequence of phosphorylation events inside the cell.

a. They allow communication between adjacent cells.
b. They provide strong connections to resist pulling forces.
c. They use the extracellular matrix to indirectly connect adjacent cells.
d. They form a watertight barrier between the cells.
