Answer;

D) D

(Gap junctions)

Explanation;

Gap junctions are tunnel like junctions that can occur anywhere along the lateral membranes of adjacent cells. They  allow ions and small molecules to pass to one cell to the next for inter-cellular communication.

They function by allowing the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.The protein channels that make up gap junctions consist of two connexons. One connexon resides in the membrane of one cell.

What accurately describes a difference between fungi and plants?
amm1812

Fungi are different from plants in that they are achlorophyllous.

<h3>Fungi vs plants</h3>

Fungi and plants are both eukaryotic in nature when it comes to their cells.

However, plants differ from fungi in that plants contain a green pigment known as chlorophyll while fungi do not. The green pigment enables plants to photosynthesize.

Thus, fungi are said to be achlorophyllous.

Which of the following is a step that occurs within an inflammatory response?
natka813 [3]
Inflammatory response can be defined is a reaction of the body to injury or destruction of tissues.  This reaction serves to dilute, destroy or simply wall off the agent causing the injury and is localized around the area of injury.Inflammatory response takes place in the following steps:1. Tissue damage caused by injury or bacterial infection is detected.2. Vasodilators and chemotactic factors such as  histamine are released.3. As a result, there is increased capillary permeability and blood flow to the area.4. There is migration of phagocytes to the site of infection.5. Phagocytes and specific serum proteins attack and destroy bacteria.<span>6. Inflammation dies down once intruder has been destroyed.</span>

In recombinant dna experiments, what is used to cut pieces of dna and what joins the resulting fragments to form recombinant dna
jonny [76]

DNA fragments are cut out restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) and then joined together using enzymes called DNA ligases.

<span>Restriction enzymes are enzymes which recognize target sequences (recognition sites) and cuts DNA at or near those sequences.</span>

DNA ligase is an enzyme that connects the gap between the molecules (if they have matching ends).

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the
Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells.  The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.
