Plasmodesmata are:
Correct answer: C. Connections between adjacent cells
- A. Locomotory structures
- B. Membranes connecting the nucleus with plasmalemma
- C. Connections between adjacent cells
- D. Lignified cemented layers between cells
Explanation
Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells, allowing communication and transport of various substances between them. They are essential for cell-to-cell communication and are involved in the exchange of nutrients, signals, and other molecules between neighboring plant cells.
