I have never heard of a furrow but furrowing is the process during cell replication when an animal cell splits into 2 new cells by "pinching" the 2 halves of the cell apart down the center of the cytoplasm.

Which image represents cytokinesis in an animal cell?

Cytokinesis in an animal cell is represented by an image showing the cleavage furrow, which forms as the cell membrane begins to pinch inward, dividing the cell into two daughter cells. This process typically follows mitosis and can be visualized as a constriction around the middle of the cell. The furrow deepens until the cell membrane completely separates, resulting in two distinct cells.


Why is there a line down the middle of the cell during telophase?

During telophase, a line down the middle of the cell, known as the cleavage furrow in animal cells or the cell plate in plant cells, forms as the cell prepares to divide. This structure indicates the location where the cell membrane will constrict or where the new cell wall will develop, ultimately leading to cytokinesis. The cleavage furrow results from the contraction of actin filaments, while the cell plate forms from vesicles containing cell wall materials. This ensures that each daughter cell receives the necessary components for independent functioning.


How are animal and plant cells different when become two cells?

Animal and plant cells are different because the plant cell has everything that the animal cell has, but the animal cell doesn't have everything that the plant cell has, in terms of the animal cell not having the cell membrane and the chloroplast.


Are the cells depicted plant or animal cells of mitosis explain your answer?

To determine whether the cells depicted are plant or animal cells in mitosis, one can look for specific characteristics. Animal cells typically exhibit a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis, where the cell membrane pinches inward. In contrast, plant cells form a cell plate that develops into a new cell wall. If the cells show a cleavage furrow, they are likely animal cells; if they show a cell plate, they are plant cells.


Do both a plant and animal cell have a cell membrane?

Yes, they both have a cell membrane, but only the plant cell has both a cell membrane and a cell wall.

Difference between proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes?

During the division of the cell membrane (CYTOKINESIS), animal cells divide the cytoplasm by constricting the cell membrane in the middle to form a CLEAVAGE FURROW while plant cells form a CELL PLATE.

In which cell type would a cell plate form after telophase is complete?

A cell plate would only form in plant cells because the cell wall is very rigid. As a result, a cell plate grows in the middle of the plant cell, dividing it into two daughter cells. Conversely, in an animal cell, a cleavage furrow is formed after telophase is complete. A cleavage furrow results from the plasma membrane of the cell pinching inwards near the centre. The flexibility of the plasma membrane makes this possible.

In animal cells is cell division accomplished by the formation of a cleavage furrow?

The cell membrane creates a cleavage furrow in animal cells, pinching the original (mother) cell in to two pieces. New cell walls are constructed at the midline of the original cell in plant cells.

Is cell membrane a plant cell?

There is a cell membrane in plant cells and in animal cells.


What does a cell membrane do to the plant cell?

cell membrane holds the plant cells together.
