Post by: arealhero on Nov 22, 2014
Gap junctions and plasmodesmata differ in that
a. gap junctions are connected by protein tubules called connexons, whereas plasmodesmata are connected by extensions of the plant’s plasma membrane.
b. gap junctions allow much larger molecules to pass through them.
c. gap junctions have no real physical connection but are rather the space between adjacent cell membranes.
d. one is of animal origin and the other is of plant origin.
e. gap junctions are connected by desmotubules and plasmodesmata are connected by connexons.
