Question

Which junctional complex is analogous to plasmodesmata?

Answer 1

Desmosomes connect adjacent cells when cadherins in the plasma membrane connect to intermediate filaments. Similar to plasmodesmata, gap junctions are channels between adjacent cells that allow for the transport of ions, nutrients, and other substances.

Answer 2

Answer:

Desmosomes

Desmosomes resemble plasmodesmata in plant cells because they also provide little space through which membranes of to adjacent epithelial cells are connected.
