Which type of cellular junction would allow glucose molecules to diffuse from the cytosol of one cell to the cytosol of a neighboring cell?
A)Cadherins
B)Tight
C)Gap
D)Conjunction
E)Nexuses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gap junctions are specialized protein channels that allow small molecules such as glucose to diffuse between the cytosol of adjacent cells. Cadherins are transmembrane proteins that help cells adhere to one another but do not allow for direct exchange of molecules. Tight junctions are also involved in cell adhesion and prevent the diffusion of molecules between cells. Conjunction and nexuses are not recognized types of cellular junctions.
