They are connections between animal cells which connects the cytoplasm between the cells; in neurons, they are electrical synapses.

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


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.


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...


What aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells?

Gap junctions aid in the coordination of activities of adjacent animal cells by allowing direct communication and exchange of ions, molecules, and electrical signals between the cells. This enables synchronized responses and coordinated functions, such as in cardiac muscle tissue for rhythmic contractions.

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.


Which structures form connection for support and communication between like cells?

Gap junction


What connects to other cells?

A number of connections occur between cells: gap junctions, desomosomes and tight junctions. The connections of gap junctions are called channels and they act like tunnels. Desomosones physically connect cells but no opening is created. They are composed of proteins that bind the membrane of one cell to its neighbor. Tight junctions form solid walls.
