Question

which cell junctions allow for rapid and direct communication between two cells? basement membrane tight junctions hemidesmosomes gap junctions desmosomes

Explanation:

Gap junctions contain connexons that form channels allowing ions and small - molecules to pass directly between cells, enabling rapid and direct communication. Basement membranes are extracellular structures for support. Tight junctions seal cells together to prevent leakage. Hemidesmosomes attach cells to the basement membrane. Desmosomes provide strong cell - to - cell adhesion.

Answer:

D. Gap junctions
