What else can I help you with?
How are the plasmodesmata of plant cells and commicating junctions of animal cell similar in function?
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
What cells have cell junctions?
Mainly animal cells
What are the four types of cellular junctions?
plasmodesmata tight junctions desmosomes gap junctions the plasmodesmata is the only cell junction in the plant cells.. and the other three cell junctions are in the animal cells...
Are cell junctions found between plant cells only?
No, cell junctions are also found between animal cells. In plants, cell junctions are called plasmodesmata, while in animals they are called tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes. These structures facilitate cell-to-cell communication and adhesion.
How do the structures and functions of cell surfaces and intercellular junctions of plant and animal cells compare?
This is a homework assignment not a simple question. WikiAnswers will not do your homework for you. However while researching your homework, if you have specific bits that you do not understand and ask us questions about these, we will be happy to answer your questions.
What binds animal cells together?
Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.
What are three types of extracellular junctions?
Within the multicellular organism tissues, a cell junction occurs. Animals have four kinds of intercellular junctions which are gap junction, desmosomes, adherens junction and tight junction,
What keeps animal cells from separating from each other within a tissue?
Junctions in Animal Cells A tight junction is a watertight seal between two adjacent animal cells. The cells are held tightly against each other by proteins, preventing materials from leaking between the cells.
Plasmodes mata in plant cell are most similar in to which structure in animal cells?
gap junctions
How do think plant cell differ from animal cell?
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not. Animal cells have lysosomes for digestion and centrioles for cell division, which are not found in plant cells. Additionally, plant cells are typically more rigid in shape due to their cell walls, whereas animal cells are more flexible.
How are plant and animal cells joined together?
A animals cells are connected together by a thing called junctions . A junction connects either the cytoplasm , membrane or even cell itself together to form a in penetrable cell wall of fluid .
Adult cell types you might expect to have gap junctions include?
Neurons, cardiac muscle cells, and smooth muscle cells are adult cell types that typically have gap junctions. Gap junctions allow for direct electrical and chemical communication between neighboring cells, facilitating coordination and synchronization in tissue function.
