Question
- construct explanations: how does a plant cell accomplish cytokinesis?
During plant cell cytokinesis, a cell plate forms. First, vesicles containing cell wall materials (like cellulose) gather at the equator of the dividing cell, derived from the Golgi apparatus. These vesicles fuse to form a disc - shaped cell plate. The cell plate then grows outward, fusing with the existing cell wall at the periphery. As it grows, it deposits more cell wall components, eventually separating the two daughter cells, creating two new cell walls and plasma membranes for each daughter cell.

In plant cell cytokinesis, a cell plate (formed by fusing Golgi - derived vesicles with cell wall materials) grows outward, fusing with the parent cell wall, ultimately separating the two daughter cells and forming new cell walls and plasma membranes for them.
