Answer #1

Ans.

gap junctions

Explanation :

Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels which traverse the cell walls ( mainly plant cells and a few algal cells ) and helps in the transportation and communication between them.

Gap junctions are a specialized intercellular connection between a multitude of animal cell-types, that directly connect the cytoplasm of two cells. They allow various molecules, ions and electrical impulses to directly pass through a regulated gate between cells.

So, gap junctions are animal equivalent of plasmodesmata.
