Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desmosomes are cell connections that are like small "spot welds", connecting intermediate filaments of adjacent cells together.

Answer: J
 Gap junctions are specialized intercellular connections that allow for direct communication and sharing of molecules between adjacent cells. They are made up of proteins called connexins and form small channels or pores between cells.

Answer: L
 Centrioles are organelles that are involved in cell division, specifically in the formation of the spindle fibers that pull apart the chromosomes during mitosis. They are also found in cilia and flagella, where they form the basal bodies that anchor these structures to the cell membrane.
