Identify the types of cell junctions that help to stop the leakage of the substances across a tissue and facilitation of communication with neighbouring cells via rapid transfer of ions and molecules.

Question

Identify the types of cell junctions that help to stop the leakage of the substances across a tissue and facilitation of communication with neighbouring cells via rapid transfer of ions and molecules. (A) Gap junctions and Adhering junctions, respectively. (B) Tight junctions and Gap junctions, respectively. (C) Adhering junctions and Tight junctions, respectively. (D) Adhering junctions and Gap junctions, respectively.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue. Gap junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules.
