This cell is probably a a. bacterium b. protist c. plant d. fungi e. animal 42. An animal cell is starving. Its food supply is exausted and in order to obtain enough energy to stay alive it begins to digest some of its less-essential organelles. The passageway is not lined with protein. The junction is a protein lined passageway connecting the cytoplasm of two cells.
Extracellular fluid is free to flow between the two cells and around the connecting passageway.
The effect is to block the flow of extracellular fluids from passing between the two cells. The attaching proteins however are fiberous such that extracellular fluid flow is not disrupted between the two cells. The junction is a blending or comingling of the lipid bilayer of two cells such that only one bilayer exists between two cells. This fusion runs in a band around the periphery where two cells come together. I. Langmuir c. C. Overton d.
