Animal cells are interconnected by which of the following?
Correct answer: C. Desmosomes
- A. Plasma membrane
- B. Cell wall
- C. Desmosomes
- D. Plasmodesmata
Explanation
Correct option is C. Animal cells are interconnected by desmosomes. A desmosome or macula adherens can be defined as a specialized cellular structure which helps in cell-to-cell adhesion. It is formed from protein plaques which are present in the cell membranes and are linked by filaments. They are found in animal cells which act like welds between adjacent epithelial cells and connect them. So, the correct answer is Desmosomes.
