How does an adherens junction differ from a desmosome?
A. Adherens junctions connect a cell to
neighboring cells, and desmosomes connect
a cell to the extracellular matrix.
B. Adherens junctions connect cells using
adherin proteins, and desmosomes connect
cells with cadherin proteins.
C. While both adherens junctions and
desmosomes connect cells by using cadherin
proteins, only adherens junctions connect to
the cytoskeleton.
D. While both adherens junctions and
desmosomes connect cells by using cadherin
proteins, adherens junctions connect to
microfilaments while desmosomes connect to
intermediate filaments inside the cell.
E. These two types of junctions only differ in
their band-like versus button-like architecture
in the plasma membrane.
