Both Gap junctions and plasmodesmata enable direct material transfer across cells.

<h3>What is Gap junction?</h3>
  • Specialized intercellular connections known as gap junctions connect a variety of animal cell types.
  • They connect cytoplasms of two cells directly, allowing different chemicals, ions, and electrical impulses to travel through a controlled gate between cells.
<h3>What is plasmodesmata?</h3>
  • When it comes to intercellular trafficking, communication, and signaling for plant development and defense.
  • Plastodesmata—intercellular pores that connect adjacent plant cells and permit membrane for cytoplasmic continuity is crucial.
  • Plasmodesmata allow molecules, from tiny photosynthetic products to big proteins and mRNA, to flow more easily between cells.
  • Plasmodesmata is essential for the transport of nutrients via vascular tissue.
  • They are also essential during development since plant cells do not migrate like animal cells do.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Tetrodotozin is a sodium channel blocker. that is; it prevents the opening of sodium channels in the  neuron needed for depolarization and action potential production.

T<u>he voltage gated sodium channels in the nerves and skeletal muscles are blocked, action potential are not generated from these areas,Therefore potassium channels are permanently open leading to hyper polarization, and since sodium channels can not open, they remain in refractory state, this leads to muscular paralysis leading to impairments of respiratory and cardiac functions.</u>

Specifically the  paralysis of the diaphragm muscles, lead to collapse of the lungs, preventing breathing,leading to suffocation and death.

This is an example of competitive inhibition;The  introduction of cholinergic acetycholine neurotransmitter  reverses the blockage of sodium channels

Describe how the lac operon functions, and explain how it permits E. coli to produce the enzymes needed to break down lactose wh
Aleonysh [2.5K]
When the lac operon controls the expression of proteins in the E.coli cell that can break down lactose into two sugars, glucose and galactose. When lactose is present, it binds to the repressor that typically sits on the lac operon, changing the repressor's conformation such that it can no longer bind to the lac  operon. Because of this, RNA polymerase can now transcribe the gene into mRNA, <span>which in turn is translated into the proteins that can break down lactose.</span>
