Cell Junctions: Plant and Animal Cells
What do secondary cell walls contain and what does it do?
Lignin, and it is what makes wood "tough"
What is the name of the cell structure that allows plant cells to communicate with each other ?
Plasmodesmata
Cell Walls
Surround the cell membrane of cells: Bacteria cell wall is composed of peptidogylcan, Fungi cell wall is composed of chitin, and Plants cell wall is composed of cellulose
Anchoring Junctions
The "spot welds" that link intermediate filaments of 2 cells aka "desmosomes" and their function is to anchor or rivet skin cells to extracellular matrix.
Cell Structure of Animal Cells
Tight Junctions, Anchoring Junctions, Gap Junctions
What are the function of cell walls ?
To provide shape, prevent bursting, and help cells specialize..
Cell Structure (Plant Cells)
Cell Walls and Plasmodesmata
Tight Junctions
Cell membranes fused together that seal between cells and is the blood brain barrier.
Plasmodesmata
Channels pores that connect adjacent plant cells.
Cell Junctions
When cells stick together and communicate with each other.
Gap Junctions
The protein channels (pores) in the cell membrane that connect adjacent animal cells and its function is to allow animal cells to communicate with each other.
