Question

forms "connections" or "pathways" between adjacent cells in plants: a. Microvilli b. Plasmodesmata c. Mesosomes d. Plasmidoplast
Options
A Microvilli
B Plasmodesmata
Correct Answer
C Mesosomes
D Plasmidoplast
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Plasmodesmata are the intercellular channels unique to plants that connect the cytoplasm of neighboring cells, creating a continuous pathway for communication and transport. Microvilli are for absorption, mesosomes are bacterial membrane infoldings, and plasmidoplast is not a real structure.

Hint

This term sounds like 'plasma' and 'desmos' (bond) – it's the cytoplasmic connection in plants.
