Identify the types of cell junctions that help to stop the leakage of the substances across a tissue and facilitation of communication with neighbouring cells via rapid transfer of ions and molecules.

1. Gap junctions and Adhering junctions, respectively.

2. Tight junctions and Gap junctions, respectively.

Best answer

Answer: 2. Tight junctions and Gap junctions, respectively.

Tight junctions seal cells and stop leakage of substances across a tissue. Gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells and allow rapid transfer of ions and small molecules. So the answer is tight junctions and gap junctions, respectively. Adhering junctions only cement cells together.
