The gap junctions of animal cells differ from the plasmodesmata ofplant cells in thata. gap junctions serve as communicating junctions and plasmodesmataserve as anchoring junctions.b. gap junctions prevent extracellular material from moving betweenadjacent cells but plasmodesmata do not.c. gap junctions allow for direct exchange of cellular material betweencells but plasmodesmata cannot allow the same type of exchange.d. gap junctions are formed by specialized proteins that form channelsthrough the membranes of adjacent cells but plasmodesmata areformed by connecting the plasma membranes of adjacent cells.e. All of the above are correct.
