Cytokinesis, diagram
Cytokinesis. Diagram showing the stage of cell division that involves the splitting of the cell cytoplasm between two daughter cells. This process is known as cytokinesis (also called cytodieresis), and is shown here for a plant (vegetal) cell. The sequence runs from left to right, showing the formation of a cell plate (green) between the two daughter cells. The other cell elements shown here include: the cell nuclei (white), the Golgi vesicles (red), the cell wall (outer layer), and the microtubles (yellow) making up the phragmoplast. This scaffold-like structure is where the cell plate forms that will eventually form the new cell wall between the new cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of cytokinesis, a crucial stage in cell division. The diagram highlights the splitting of the cell cytoplasm between two daughter cells, providing a detailed visual representation of this biological phenomenon. Specifically focusing on a plant (vegetal) cell, the sequence depicted in the image unfolds from left to right. The central feature is the formation of a vibrant green cell plate that emerges between the two daughter cells. Surrounding this pivotal structure are various other elements essential to cellular function and division. The white cell nuclei symbolize the core control centers within each individual cell, while red Golgi vesicles signify their vital role in transporting proteins and lipids. The outer layer represents the protective and structural component known as the cell wall, which plays an integral role in maintaining cellular integrity. Additionally, yellow microtubules form an intricate phragmoplast scaffold-like structure where the new cell wall will eventually develop. This stunning illustration not only captures nature's remarkable ability for self-renewal but also serves as a testament to our understanding of complex biological processes through scientific exploration. It beautifully combines artistry with scientific precision to provide viewers with an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of life's fundamental mechanisms – cytokinesis.
