adhering junction

gap junction

|
None of the above
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Gap junctions cement adjacent cells together.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assertion: Gap junctions perform cementing function to keep the neighbouring cells together. 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-3: -Adherens junctions (or zonula adherens, intermediate junction, or “belt desmosome") are protein complexes that occur at cell–cell junctions, cell–matrix junctions in epithelial and endothelial tissues, usually more basal than tight junctions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adherens junctions: These junctions cement the adjacent cells together. They serve anchoring function.
Detailed explanation-5: -Functionally, gap junctions in animal cells are a lot like plasmodesmata in plant cells: they are channels between neighboring cells that allow for the transport of ions, water, and other substances 3.
