Multiple Choice
How does an adherens junction differ from a desmosome?
A) An adherens junction connects a cell to neighboring cells, and a desmosome connects a cell to the extracellular matrix.
B) An adherens junction connects cells using adherin proteins, and a desmosome connects cells using cadherin proteins.
C) Whereas both adherens junctions and desmosomes connect cells by using cadherin proteins, only an adherens junction connects to the cytoskeleton.
D) Whereas both adherens junctions and desmosomes connect cells by using cadherin proteins, adherens junctions connect to microfilaments in the cytoplasm and desmosomes connect to intermediate filaments.
E) These two types of junctions only differ in their bandlike versus button-like architecture in the plasma membrane.
