How does the extracellular matrix affect a cell that it surrounds? (select all that apply.)
the cell's shape depends in part on the structure and composition of the extracellular matrix.
the genes that the cell expresses depend in part on the types of proteins in the extracellular matrix.
the size that the cell grows to depends in part on the polysaccharides in the extracellular matrix.
the extracellular matrix has no effect on the cells that it surrounds.
all of these choices are correct.

The cell's shape depends in part on the structure and composition of the extracellular matrix.

The size that the cell grows to depends in part on the polysaccharides in the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

The extracellular is a suspension of macromolecules that supports the local tissue growth and  maintain  organs. The extracellular matrix directs the morphology of a tissue.

The extracellular matrix  stores  cellular growth factors, which are released locally based on the physiological needs of the local tissue.

The extracellular matrix  transduce signals into cells, which regulate cellular functions such as  growth, proliferation, migration, differentiation, etc.

a researcher conducts an experiment on the secretion of a particular hormone in mice. scientists inject mice with a substance that stimulates the production of the hormone. the scientists then test the levels of hormones produced by the mice. the tool used to measure the hormones consistently detects the levels at 10 points lower than the actual hormone levels in the mice. this tool makes measurements, but the measurements aren't .
