Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gap junctions use closable channels called connexons to connect the cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells, allowing for direct exchange of small molecules, ions, and electrical signals between cells. Plasmodesmata are similar structures found in plant cells, while tight junctions, adhering junctions, and blocking proteins serve different cellular functions.
