Cell Plant Vesicles Dividing Sections Wall Form Describe

Front Describe the process of cytokinesis in plant cells.
Back Plant cytokinesis:
  • Vesicles from Golgi begin to assemble in same place along equator where chromosomes aligned (metaphase plate)
  • Vesicles fuse with each other and cell surface membrane, dividing the cell into two
  • New sections of cell wall form along new sections of membrane (if dividing cell wall fromed before daughter clels separated, osmotic lysis would occur from surrounding water)

(cleavage furrow cannot form because plant cells have cell walls)
