Cyclosis occurs due to the involvement of:
Correct answer: B. Microfilaments
- A. Microtubules
- B. Microfilaments
- C. Intermediate filaments
- D. Myofilaments
Explanation
Microfilaments are made up of contractile actin proteins. They contract and relax rhythmically in a cell and generate a pumping pressure that forces the cytoplasm to carry out a mass movementor streaming movement in a clockwise manner around the nucleus. It is called cyclosis.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
