The tiny holes in the cell walls of plants that allow for the passing of materials are called the?
Plasmodesmata
Are cell membranes in plants or animals?
Both plant and animal cells have cell membranes. However, plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells don't. In plants the cell wall is composed mostly of cellulose.
What are 3 organelles that are common to plants cells only?
Chloroplast, central vacuole, and glyoxysomes. Cell walls and plasmodesmata are also found only in plants however they are not considered organelles.
What is plasmodesmata?
Plasmodesmata is an organelle that can only be found in Plant cells. It basically connects all the cells together. There is more madness to the logic like why it is connected, and what is transported in the Plasmodesmata. But for now that is all you need to know.
The purpose of plasmodesmata is to?
communicate with other cells
How do plants cells interact with their neighbors through the cell wall?
Plasmodesmata
The tiny holes in the cell walls of plants that allow for the passing of materials are called the .?
Plasmodesmata
The tiny holes in the cell walls of plants that allow for the passing of materials are called the?
Plasmodesmata
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 is the function of the plasmodesmata in plants?
The passage between two cells. Water and nutrient passages, generally.
What the purpose of plasmodesmata?
Plasmodesmata are holes in the cell wall of plants and algae that allow the cellular transfer of of proteins and macromolecules in and out of the cell. The cell wall does not have gap junctions or intermembrane proteins like the cell membrane does, so the cell needed another way to allow passage into and out of the cell, which is where plasmodesmata developed.
What color is a plasmodesmata?
a plasmodesmata is usually brown and button shaped
Are cell membranes in plants or animals?
Both plant and animal cells have cell membranes. However, plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells don't. In plants the cell wall is composed mostly of cellulose.
What is the function of plasmodemata?
Plasmodesmata are intercellular organelles found in plants. Their function is that of a highway for local and long-distance signalling. In higher plants, this pathway involves the movement of proteins such as RNA.
What are 3 organelles that are common to plants cells only?
Chloroplast, central vacuole, and glyoxysomes. Cell walls and plasmodesmata are also found only in plants however they are not considered organelles.

Plasmodesmata of plant cells are functionally equivalent to what of animal cells?
If the answer choices are a. Extracellular Martix b. Desmosomes c. Gap Junctions d. Tight Junctions e. Peroxisomes Then the answer is definitely C, Gap Junctions
