Gap junctions are a complex of integral membrane proteins called connexins arranged in a ring. In plasmodesmata, the plasma membranes of the two connected cells are actually continuous. Gap junctions and plasmodesmata have what feature in common?.

Respuesta :

Both Gap junctions and plasmodesmata enable direct material transfer across cells.

What is Gap junction?

  • Specialized intercellular connections known as gap junctions connect a variety of animal cell types.
  • They connect cytoplasms of two cells directly, allowing different chemicals, ions, and electrical impulses to travel through a controlled gate between cells.

What is plasmodesmata?

  • When it comes to intercellular trafficking, communication, and signaling for plant development and defense.
  • Plastodesmata—intercellular pores that connect adjacent plant cells and permit membrane for cytoplasmic continuity is crucial.
  • Plasmodesmata allow molecules, from tiny photosynthetic products to big proteins and mRNA, to flow more easily between cells.
  • Plasmodesmata is essential for the transport of nutrients via vascular tissue.
  • They are also essential during development since plant cells do not migrate like animal cells do.
