Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each structure mentioned: Gap junctions, Desmosomes, Plasmodesmata, and Tight junctions.
Gap junctions are channels that allow for communication between animal cells, not found in plant cells.
Desmosomes are structures that anchor cells together in animal tissues, not found in plant cells.
Plasmodesmata are channels that pass through the cell walls of plant cells, allowing for transport and communication between them. These are unique to plant cells.
Tight junctions are connections that prevent the leakage of material between animal cells, not found in plant cells.
