The function of the gap junction is to -

  1. facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules.
  2. separate two cells from each other
  3. stop substance from leaking across a tissue
  4. performing cementing to keep neighbouring cells together

Answer

(1) facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules.

Solution

As per NCERT, cells of epithelial tissue are linked by three types of cell junctions:

Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue.

Adhering junctions perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together.

Gap junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules.
