The cell membrane (a ring around the cell that provides protection and in the animal cell's case, shape) controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell, but in the plant cell's case, the cell wall ,which is thicker than the cell membrane and outside of it, does more of the work. It also has canals that allow fluids to move through the plant.
Tight junctions form a seal between adjacent epithelial cells, preventing the passage of materials between cells. They help maintain the integrity and barrier function of the epithelium.
Exchange of materials between the blood and body cells occurs through the process of diffusion. Nutrients, waste products, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and other molecules move across cell membranes to maintain homeostasis within the body. This exchange is essential for delivering nutrients to cells and removing waste products from the body.
Anchoring junctions link intermediate filaments to adjacent animal cells, attaching the cells but still allowing movement or stretching.
Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels that traverse the cell walls of plant cells, allowing for direct communication and transport of molecules between adjacent cells. They play a crucial role in the exchange of nutrients, signaling molecules, and genetic information between plant cells.

Adjacent cells are cells that are together, and do not have other cells between each other. A cell beside another one are together called adjacent cells, as are cells that are above or below each other and touching. So A1 and A2 are adjacent cells, as are B1 and C1. A1 and C1 are not adjacent cells as B1 is between them. A1, B1 and C1 would be adjacent cells.
Diffusion
Yes, adjacent plant cells are connected by structures called plasmodesmata that pass through the cell wall, allowing for communication and transport of materials between the cells. In animal cells, adjacent cells are connected by intercellular junctions like tight junctions, adherens junctions, and gap junctions.
Materials are exchanged between cells and the blood mainly at the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels with thin walls that allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. This exchange process occurs through the process of diffusion.
No, the membrane protein complexes that strengthen the adhesion between adjacent cells are found in animal cells as adherens junctions and desmosomes. In plant cells, the equivalent structures are called plasmodesmata, which are channels that allow for communication between adjacent plant cells.
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
