| | cytoplasmic streaming |
 | | Cytoplasmic streaming, also called cyclosis, transports nutrients, enzymes, and larger particles within cells, enhances the exchange of materials between organelles, as well as between cells. |
 | | It is thought that microfilaments provide the driving force for, and control the direction of, the streaming. |
 | | In some plant cells there is a rapid rotatory cytoplasmic movement, limited to the peripheral parts of the cell next to the cell wall, which carries chloroplasts and granules along. |
