NEET Biology question
Match the following cell structure with its characteristic feature.
Column-I: (A) Tight Junctions (B) Adhering Junctions (C) Gap Junctions (D) Synaptic Junctions
Column-II: (i) Cement neighbouring cells together to form a sheet (ii) Transmit information through chemical signals to another cell (iii) Establish a barrier to prevent leakage of fluid across epithelial cells (iv) Cytoplasmic channels to facilitate communication between adjoining cells
Select the correct option from the following.
Solution
Tight junctions establish a barrier that prevents fluid from leaking across an epithelial sheet (A-iii). Adhering junctions cement neighbouring cells together, keeping tissue intact (B-i). Gap junctions form
