Gap junction is a connecting channel in animal cell while plasmodesmata  is connecting channel in plant cell.

Explanation:

Both Gap junction and plasmodesmata are form of connecting channel found in cell but Gap junction is found in animal cells while plasmodesmata is found in plant cell.

The structure of gap junction comprises of hemicahnnes (connexons). These hemichannels are made up of endoplasmic reticulum of cells that are later relocated by the Golgi apparatus to the cell membrane thereby forming transmembrane proteins named connexins. While Plasmodesmata are cylindrical in shape and  lined with plasma membrane. There are narrow tubes known as desmotubules which are made up of smooth endoplasmic reticulum

There are three types of gap junction while there are several forms of plasmodesmata

weqwewe [10]

It important to adjust the light intensity when viewing a specimen with a compound microscope in order to view the proper contrast to view the organism correctly .

What is compound microscope ?

Because it has two different types of lenses that work together to magnify an item, the conventional light microscope used in laboratories is referred to as a compound microscope. The ocular lens is the one that is closest to the eye, and the objective lens is the one that is closest to the target.

<h3>What use does a compound microscope serve?</h3>

Compound microscopes have a high magnification that allows the user to see cells, bacteria, algae, and protozoa on specimens we would identify microorganism.
