Which plant structure is most like gap junctions in animal cells?
Plasmodesmata in plant cells are most similar to gap junctions in animal cells. Plasmodesmata are channels that allow for the direct exchange of molecules between plant cells, similar to how gap junctions allow for communication and transport of molecules between animal cells.
Do plasmodesmata connect the cytoplasms of one plant cell to another?
Their cytoplasms are not really connected, but there is a network of cytoskeleton material that gives support to the cells and also interconnects them for structural integrity.
What are 5 structural differences between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose outside their cell membrane, while animal cells do not have a cell wall. Plant cells typically have large central vacuoles for storage of water and nutrients, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles or sometimes none at all. Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Plant cells have plasmodesmata, which are channels that allow for communication between adjacent cells, while animal cells do not have plasmodesmata. Plant cells have a rectangular or square shape, while animal cells are typically more rounded or irregular in shape.
Which of these is NOT found in animal cells?
The following are found in plant cells and NOT in animal cells: -plasmodesmata -chloroplasts -large central vacuoles -cell wall -tonoplast The following are found in animal cells and NOT in plant cells: -lysosomes -centrioles -flagella (although some are found in plant sperm)
Which structure is not found in a animal cell?
Lysosomes, centrosomes, and flagella are present only in animal cells. Chloroplasts, the central vacuole, the cell wall, and plasmodesmata are found only in plant cells.
Which plant structure is most like gap junctions in animal cells?
Plasmodesmata in plant cells are most similar to gap junctions in animal cells. Plasmodesmata are channels that allow for the direct exchange of molecules between plant cells, similar to how gap junctions allow for communication and transport of molecules between animal cells.
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
Plasmodesmata in plants equals to what in animals?
There is no exact equivalent, but a gap junction is the closest thing an animal cell has to plasmodesmata.
Are Gap junctions are found in plant cells?
Yes, gap junctions are found in animal cells, while plasmodesmata are the structures responsible for cell-cell communication in plant cells. Plasmodesmata are channels that allow for the exchange of molecules and communication between plant cells.
Do animal cell and plant cell have plasma membrane?
Animal cells don't have plasmodesmata, only plant cells do. Plasmodesmata are intercellular bridges between plant cells. They play a central role in allowing water and other nutrients to be transported from one cell to another.
What is the difference in an animal cells mitochondrion and a plant cells mitochondrion?
There is no difference. Mitochondria are functionally and structurally identical in all eukaryotes.
Is the arrangement of plant and animal cells in their normal undisrupted tissue similar or different?
Plant cells are attached to each other by cell walls and the connection is through plasmodesmata. Animal cells are not connected by walls and are interconnected by the extracellular fluid
Is the membrane protein complexes that strengthens the adhesion between adjacent cells a plant cell?
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.
What type of cells does plasmodesmata occur between?
plant cells I believe....
Do the plasmodesmata in plants that are analogous to gap junctions in animal cells and they play an important role in cell to cell communication?
Yes, plasmodesmata in plant cells are indeed analogous to gap junctions in animal cells. Both structures facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the passage of ions, small molecules, and signaling compounds. This intercellular connectivity is crucial for various physiological processes, including nutrient transport and response to environmental stimuli. Thus, plasmodesmata play a vital role in maintaining plant cell communication and coordination.
What are three ways that a plant cells is different from an animal cell?
There are a range of differences. Some are listed below: Plant cells are enclosed by a cellulose cell wall whereas animal cells are not. Some plant cells have chloroplasts whereas animal cells never have chloroplasts. Plant cells have a large, permanent central vacuole whereas animal cells have small, temporary vacuoles. Plant cells are interconnected by plasmodesmata whereas animal cells are not. Animal cells have centrioles whereas plant cells do not.
What attaches skin cells to the extracellular matrix by?
Plasmodesmata
