Question
Chapter 3.6, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The term plasmodesmata and the type of the animal cell junction which is similar to plasmodesmata.
Concept introduction:
Plant cells are composed of the cell wall with a defined nucleus, presence of organelles, and plastids. The plant cells prepare metabolites by the process of photosynthesis which helps in deriving energy for the cell.
