Question

Compare cytokinesis in plant and animal cells. In what ways are the two processes similar? In what ways are they different?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's look at our next question. It says in plant psychokinesis, the division occurs blank. Meanwhile, an animal psychokinesis cell division happens blank. So when we look at our answer choices, we see that they're all different combinations of the word central frugally and central centripetal. And so we want to first recall what the meaning of these are. So we can keep clear which is happening in which kind of cell remembering that we're talking about psychokinesis, The division of the mother cell into the two daughter cells? Well, central frugally refers to the division, starting at the center, then moving towards the cell wall, centripetal E. Means starting at the edges, then moving towards the center. So let's think about the ways that cell division occurs in plants versus animals. So in plant cells, psychokinesis occurs first by the formation of a cell plate in the middle of where the cells going to divide. And that means that plant cells, the division starts in the center with the formation of that cell plate and then moves outward so plant cells are going to be a central frugal direction. So let's look at our answer choices. So we know that since plant cells are first we want central frugally to be the first word in our answer choice. So choice A. Has that first and choice D. So we can go ahead and rule out choices B and C. Which have said trip italy as the first word. Then let's think about our animal cell. An animal cell, you have a cleavage furrow that causes the cell division and that starts to grow on the both sides of the mother cell and then move inward. So for animal cells we have the cleavage furrow starting at the sides, so their mode or direction of division is centripetal from the center or from the outside towards the center. So we need to look for among our answer choices that have sent center frugally first. We need centripetal lee as the second choice. And that would be choice A. So that would be our answer here. Choice D. Has central frugally as the word for animal cells. So that's not our answer. So again, implant psychokinesis. The division occurs. Choice A sentry frugally. Meanwhile, an animal psychokinesis cell division happens. Send trip italy. See you in the next video.
