Cytokinesis in Plant Cells

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

In a plant cell, cytokinesis builds a new cell wall outward from the center, as Golgi vesicles fuse at the metaphase plate to form an expanding cell plate.

Show

A cell plate grows outward until it merges with the existing wall, splitting the cell into two walled daughters.

Watch for

A plant cell builds wall material outward, opposite an animal cell's inward-pinching cleavage furrow.
