In many cells, the adhesion to the extracellular matrix through integrins causes the activation of kinases in the cytoplasm. This suggests that:

a. integrins promote the activation of signal-transduction pathways.

b. integrins are kinases.

c. extracellular matrix proteins are receptors and integrins are ligands.
