Question

drag and drop each label, placing it into the correct category according to which cellular junction it pertains. labels drop zones reset all contributes to the cytoskeleton desmosome (1/3) gap junction (2/3) tight junction (3/3) prevents cells from being pulled apart forms a water - resistant seal between cells comprised of connexons allows electrical stimulation to pass from cell to cell comprised of adhesion proteins

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Desmosomes prevent cells from being pulled apart and are comprised of adhesion proteins. Gap junctions are comprised of connexons and allow electrical stimulation to pass from cell - to - cell. Tight junctions form a water - resistant seal between cells. The statement "Contributes to the cytoskeleton" doesn't directly pertain to a single one of these junction types as a defining feature.

Answer:

Prevents cells from being pulled apart: Desmosome
Forms a water - resistant seal between cells: Tight Junction
Comprised of connexons: Gap Junction
Allows electrical stimulation to pass from cell to cell: Gap Junction
Comprised of adhesion proteins: Desmosome
Contributes to the cytoskeleton: None of the above (not a defining feature of these junctions)
