Detailed explanation-1: -These junctions are found between those cells that are in direct contact with each other. The correct answer will be that the function of gap junctions is to facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting their cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules, and some large molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gap junctions are clusters of intercellular channels that allow direct diffusion of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Intercellular communication is largely mediated by gap junctions (GJs), a type of specialized membrane contact composed of variable number of channels that enable direct communication between cells by allowing small molecules to pass directly into the cytoplasm of neighbouring cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: Tight junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small and big molecules, etc.
Detailed explanation-5: -Correct answer: Gap junctions prevent molecules and ions from traveling between cells in the extracellular space.
