Which of the following makes it necessary for animal cells, although they have no cell walls, to have intercellular junctions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without cell walls, animal cells rely on intercellular junctions like tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions to maintain tissue integrity and barriers to fluid leakage. These junctions physically attach cells to each other and provide mechanical strength to the tissue. A and B may also be true to some extent but do not fully explain the necessity of intercellular junctions in animal cells. C is not entirely accurate because although cell-to-cell communication does require physical interactions, not all forms of communication require direct attachment between cells.
