10 multiple choice 1 point which cellular junction is most similar to plasmodesmata but found in animal cells? tight junctions desmosomes gap junctions centrosomes
Plasmodesmata are channels in plant cells that allow direct communication and transport between adjacent cells. Gap junctions in animal cells serve the same function—forming channels for small molecules and ions to pass between cells, making them the most similar structure. Tight junctions seal cell gaps, desmosomes anchor cells, and centrosomes are involved in cell division, so they do not match the role of plasmodesmata.
