There is no exact equivalent, but a gap junction is the closest thing an animal cell has to plasmodesmata.

Are there cells that are in plants but not in animals?

Yes, plant cells have unique structures such as cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles. These structures are not present in animal cells. Additionally, plant cells have plasmodesmata, which are channels that allow cells to communicate with each other.


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?

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.

The purpose of plasmodesmata is to?

facilitate communication and transport of materials between plant cells, allowing for the passage of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules. Plasmodesmata play a crucial role in coordinating growth and development, as well as in the defense responses of plants.
