Homework Answers
b. tight junctions
Epithelial cells of animals are connected together by various cell junctions such as tight junctions, adhering junctions and gap junctions. Gap junctions allow the passage of ions and some specific molecules across one cell to another, thus they provide cell-to-cell communication.
Tight Junctions are a type ofcell junctions that connect adjacent cells together. These junctions are found in the apical region around the cell's circumference.
Desmosomes: connect the plasma membrane to intermediate filaments in the cytoplasm.
Peroxisomes: not cell juctions.
