Question

The type of junctions not found in animal tissues are

• A. tight junctions
• B. adhering junctions
• C. gap junctions
• D. plasmodesmata

Answer 1

The correct option is D plasmodesmata

Junctions provide structural and functional links between the individual cells.

Tight junctions prevent the leakage of substances.

Adhering junctions help in joining the cells together.

Gap junctions allow communication between the cells by allowing the movement of ions and molecules.

All the above said junctions are found in animal tissues.

Plasmodesmata are channels interconnecting the cells in plants and help in movement of substances. They are not found in animal tissues.
