Chapter 15, Problem 15.5PS
Cellular Junctions and Plasmodesmata. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of adhesive junctions (A), tight junctions (T), gap junctions (G), and/or plasmodesmata (P). A given statement may be true of any, all, or none (N) of these structures.
(a) Associated with filaments that confer either contractile or tensile properties
(b) Sites of membrane fusion that are limited to abutting ridges of adjacent membranes
(c) Require the alignment of connexons in the plasma membranes of two adjacent cells
(d) Seal membranes of two adjacent cells tightly together
(e) Allow the exchange of metabolites between the cytosol of two adjacent cells
