How is plant cell cytokinesis different from animal cell cytokinesis?
A)The cleavage furrow in animal cells is composed of protein contractile filaments;the contractile filaments found in plant cells are structures composed of carbohydrates.
B)Plant cells deposit vesicles containing cell-wall building blocks on the metaphase plate;animal cells form a cleavage furrow.
C)The structural carbohydrates of the plant cells separate the two cells,whereas in animal cells,a cell membrane separates the two daughter cells.
D)Animal cells have centrosomes that are involved in this process,but plant cells have microtubular organizing centers that are not detectable during most of the cell cycle.

Plant cells have a cell wall that cannot be "pinched" apart like the cell membrane of animal cells. Instead, plant cells deposit vesicles containing cell-wall building blocks on the metaphase plate, which fuse together to form a new cell wall that separates the two daughter cells. Animal cells, on the other hand, form a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell membrane inward until the cell is divided into two.
