Cytokinesis
By Michelle, Addison, Laura, and
Cory.
What is Cytokinesis
• This Is the last stage of the cell cycle &
it completes the process of cell division.
• During Cytokinesis the cytoplasm
divides.
• Organelles are distributed into each of
the new cells.
More info
• When cytokinesis is complete two new
cells (daughter cells) have formed.
• At the end of cytokinesis each cell
enters interphase and the cell cycle
begins.
Cytokinesis in animal cells
• During cytokinesis in animal cells the
cell membrane squeezes together
around the middle of the cell.
• The cytoplasm forms into two cells.
• Each daughter cell gets about 1/2 of the
organelles.
Cytokinesis in plant cells
• Because the plant cell has a cell wall unlike
the animal cell, it can’t squeeze together like
the cell membrane can.
• Instead a structure called the cell plate forms
across the middle of the cell and the cell
gradually splits into two cells.
• Then two new cell wall forms

Can you spot the Cell plate??
