What's the significance of cyclosis?

Posted June 17, 2024


Answer

Cytoplasmic streaming refers to the flow of cytoplasm within cells of plants or animals. This movement is important since it transports nutrients, organelles, and proteins to all parts of the cell. It is also important for larger cells where diffusion may be slower.
