Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “the three types of cell attachment structures in animal cells are: (1) __________, (2) __________, and (3) __________. The structures that interconnect plant cells are called __________.”
Introduction:
In multicellular organism, cells are held together by some specialized structures on the plasma membrane. There are several specialized structures that help in communication with neighboring cells. There are three major types of connections: (1) adhesive junction, (2) tight junction, and (3) gap junction.

- Which statement best distinguishes plant cells and animal cells? There are more ribosomes in animal cells than in plant cells. Plant cells have more lysosomes than animal cells have. Plant cells have large vacuoles, and animal cells do not. The position of the nucleus in the cells is different in plants and animalarrow_forwardPlants and animals are both made up of eukaryotic cells. Does this mean they have the same kinds of organelles? Why or why not? A complex of protein and RNA that assembles proteins. A cell makes and secretes a certain protein. Explain where it is made, how it is secreted from the cell, and what kind of transport is used.

- Why is the plant cell rigid, but a human cheek cell is misshapen and folded over on itself?arrow_forwardIn plants, the cell wall forms as a young plant cell secretes polysaccharides onto the outer surface of its plasma membrane. Being thin and pliable, this primary wall allows the cell to enlarge and change shape. At maturity, cells in some plant tissues deposit material onto the primary wall’s inner surface. Why doesn’t this secondary wall form on the outer surface of the primary wall?arrow_forwardRegarding animals cells, list what you consider to be the top 4 most important organelles and justify your answers by explaining their function and structure and what would be the consequence of a malfunction in the organelles you choose.
