K) specialized modifications of the cell membrane in which two cells come together in multicellular organisms. Cell junctions

L) point of cytoplasmic contact between two cells. Gap junction

M) anchors cytoskeleton of one cell with that of a neighboring cell. Adhesive junction

Explanation:

Connexin: is a transmembrane protein that forms the gap junctions, they are also called gap junctions proteins.

Hemidesmosome junctions: these types of junctions are in the epidermis, specifically between the epithelial cells and the basal lamina of the epidermis.

Plaque: they are part of the adherens junctions, they are fibrous proteins that are attached to certain points of the extracellular matrix.

Tight junctions: are junctions between two epithelia, they are very restrictive and do not allow the passage of soluble molecules creating a permeability barrier.

Desmosomes: are very strong cell to cell junctions on the lateral sides of plasma membranes. They are in tissues that are under mechanical stress, such as the cardiac muscle.

Connexons: is a pore made of six connexin proteins in a gap junction. Connexons are the ones that connect two cells in gap junctions.

Focal adhesions: They connect the extracellular matrix with the cell, regulatory signs and mechanical force is transmitted through them.

Tonofilaments: tonofilaments are the ones that are associated with a plaque in adherens junctions, they are in epithelial tissues.

Adherens junctions: are cell to cell junctions where the cytoplasmatic face is connected to the actin cytoskeleton. They appear as spots forming the plaque or as zonula adherens, which are actin bands around the cell.

Cell junctions are protein complexes that connect two cells that are next to each other or a cell with the extracellular matrix. They have a lot of functions, such as pas information from cell to cell, or the exterior, form a barrier, synchronize cells, etc.

Gap junctions: are connections between the cytoplasm of two cells, molecules and, ions pass directly from one cell to the other.

Why might a water table drop

bonufazy [111]

Pumping water out of the ground faster than it is replenished over the long-term causes similar problems. The volume of groundwater in storage is decreasing in many areas of the United States in response to pumping. Groundwater depletion is primarily caused by sustained groundwater pumping.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have a number of features in common. Which of the following is NOT one of them? (A: Both are surro

likoan [24]

The best answer is C.

Chloroplasts are not found in all eukaryotic cells but only in plant cells. Animal cells are eukaryotic in nature but animals do not have chloroplasts in their cells because they do not engage in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is essential in t trapping sunlight from which supplies the energy for photosynthesis.

Animals do not make their own food like plants but eat ready made food so their cells lack mechanisms for food manufacture.

9. Why does sediment cause coral bleaching?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

3. Sediment makes the water cloudy.

Explanation:

Sedimentation has been identified as a primary stressor for the existence and recovery of coral species and their habitats. Sediment deposited onto reefs can smother corals and interfere with their ability to feed, grow, and reproduce.
