Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmodesmata are channels that connect the cytoplasm of one plant cell with that of another.

Plasmodesmata play an important role in the exchange of nutrients and other molecules, as well as in cell-to-cell signaling. Choices A, B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function or structure of plasmodesmata.
