Within the multicellular organism tissues, a cell junction occurs. Animals have four kinds of intercellular junctions which are gap junction, desmosomes, adherens junction and tight junction,
a. anchoring junctions
Anchoring junctions, such as desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, are types of cell junctions that are attached to the cytoskeleton. They provide strong adhesion between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix by linking to intermediate filaments.
plasmodesmata tight junctions desmosomes gap junctions the plasmodesmata is the only cell junction in the plant cells.. and the other three cell junctions are in the animal cells...
The apical surface does not have any cell junctions because it is a free surface exposed to things that are not epithelial cells. The lateral surfaces of an epithelial cell, which face the adjacent cells on either side contain tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes and/or gap junctions. The basal surface of an epithelial cell adhere to extracellular materials like the basement membrane. Hemidesmosomes anchor the epithelium to the basement membrane in the basal surface.
In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction:1. Adherens junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes (anchoring junctions.)2. Gap junctions (communicating junction)3. Tight junctions (occluding junctions)Your question most likely is for the tight junction but more information in the question would be helpful.
If the answer choices are a. Extracellular Martix b. Desmosomes c. Gap Junctions d. Tight Junctions e. Peroxisomes Then the answer is definitely C, Gap Junctions
Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.

Cells in the human body are connected through a network of structures called intercellular junctions. These junctions allow cells to communicate, adhere to one another, and exchange molecules. There are different types of intercellular junctions, such as tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes, that play specific roles in maintaining tissue structure and function.
Intercellular junctions were discovered by Albert Schweigger-Seidel in the early 19th century. However, modern understanding and classification of various types of intercellular junctions have been developed through the work of multiple scientists over the years.

Not sure what you are checking, but a transistor has two junctions. Think of a three layer cake with chocolate on the bottom layer, vanilla in the middle and chocolate on the top. The junctions are where the chocolate and vanilla meet.
