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.
Which of the following is the animal equivalent of plasmodesmata? O desmosomes O adherens junctions O...
What component of the cytoskeleton is associated with tight junctions? intermediate filaments O microfilaments microtubules Question 3 2 pts Epiethelial cells have which of the following on their basal surfaces? O adherens junctions hemidesmosomes O tight junctions O gap junctions desmosomes
55. Which cell junctions are most important for creating a "seal" or barrier in an epithelial layer? A. Adherens junctions B. Desmosomes C. Gap junctions D. Hemidesmosome E. Tight junctions
What do tight junctions and adherens junctions have in common?
Cell junctions which bind cells together at apical membranes are: a. gap junctions b. tight junctions c. all are correct d. desmosomes e. peroxisomes
choices for A: hemidesmosomes, focal contacts, desmosomes, adherens junctions choices for B: integrin, cadherin, occludin choices for C: intermediate filaments, microtubles, the actin cytoskeleton choices for D: focal contacts, desmosomes, edherens junctions, hemidesmosomes choices for E: integrin, cadherin, occludin choices for F: microtubles, intermediate filaments, the actin cytoskeleton Animal cells use a wide variety of junctions to connect cells to each other and to their ECM. The function of these junctions are determined by the proteins involved. Motile cells can...
Which of the following cell junctions uses cadherin cell adhesion molecules to anchor the actin cytoskeleton? Tight junction Adherens junction Desmosome Hemidesmosome Gap junction
Which of the following cell junctions uses cadherin cell adhesion molecules to anchor the actin cytoskeleton? Tight junction Adherens junction Desmosome Hemidesmosome Gap junction
Question 44 (1 point) When two cells are joined by proteins that bind to each other, and to the proteins that anchor cytoskeletal intermediate filaments, are formed. o tight junctions desmosomes plasmodesmata gap junctions
6. Application: Let's say you injected a dye into a cell. Describe what would happen to the dye if the cells in animal tissue were connected by each of the following: tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions d. Application: Let's say you inject a dye extracellularly on one side of a sheet of animal cells. Describe what would happen to the dye if the cells in the tissue were connected by each of the following: tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions
