Answer:

The correct answer is- adherence junction.

Explanation:

Adherence junction plays important role in communication between cells by cell to cell adhesion. Apart from communication, it also plays important role in maintaining the structural integrity of the tissue because it forms strong connection between the cells.

So as adherence junction helps in initiating and stabilizing the cell to cell adhesion and maintaining the structural integrity of tissue, therefore, adherence junction will most likely be affected by the treatment of an experimental substance that compromised the structural integrity of the tissue.

Therefore the right answer is - adherence junction.

Water can cause chemical weathering by which process?
Lady_Fox [76]

Chemical weathering changes the composition of rocks, often transforming them when water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions. Chemical weathering is a gradual and ongoing process as the mineralogy of the rock adjusts to the near surface environment.
