The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "The cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells is connected to each other by:", we need to analyze the options provided and determine which one correctly identifies the structure responsible for connecting the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: - We are asked about the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells. 2. **Evaluating Option 1: Plasma Membrane (Plasma Lemma)**: - The plasma membrane surrounds each cell and provides protection and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. - However, it does not connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells directly. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Evaluating Option 2: Desmosomes**: - Desmosomes are structures that provide adhesion between cells, linking their cytoskeletons to provide mechanical strength. - They do not form direct connections between the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells. - **Conclusion**: This option is also incorrect. 4. **Evaluating Option 3: Plasmodesmata**: - Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels that penetrate the cell walls of adjacent plant cells. - They allow for the direct connection of the cytoplasm between these cells, facilitating communication and transport of substances. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 5. **Evaluating Option 4: Plasmotubule**: - Plasmotubules are involved in connecting neighboring pollen tubes, not plant cells in general. - They do not serve the purpose of connecting the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells is connected to each other by **Plasmodesmata**. ---
