Introduction:
In multicellular organism, cells are held together by some specialized structures on the plasma membrane. There are several specialized structures that help in communication with neighboring cells. There are three major types of connections: (1) adhesive junction, (2) tight junction, and (3) gap junction.

- In plants, the cell wall forms as a young plant cell secretes polysaccharides onto the outer surface of its plasma membrane. Being thin and pliable, this primary wall allows the cell to enlarge and change shape. At maturity, cells in some plant tissues deposit material onto the primary wall’s inner surface. Why doesn’t this secondary wall form on the outer surface of the primary wall?arrow_forwardWhich of the following terms is not associated with te cell membrane of animal cells? a.) protein channels b.) cholesterol c.) hydrophilic tails d.) fluid mosaicarrow_forwardFigure 3.7 What structures does a plant cell have that an animal cell does not have?
