In plants the neighboring cells are connected with one another by:
Correct answer: A. Plasmodesmata
- A. Plasmodesmata
- B. Cell walls
- C. Vacuoles
- D. Casparian strips
Explanation
In plants, neighboring cells are connected with one another by specialized channels called plasmodesmata. Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels that pass through the cell walls and connect the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells, allowing for communication, transport of water, nutrients, and other molecules between cells.

About Animal and Plant Cell
Animal and plant cells share a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, but plant cells also have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole. Questions cover organelle structure and function, differences between the two cell types, and how membranes control movement of substances.
