The cellular process responsible for lifting the cytoplasm is known as cytokinesis. This process occurs during cell division, specifically at the end of mitosis, ensuring that the daughter cells receive a complete set of organelles and cytoplasm. In animal cells, cytokinesis involves the formation of a contractile ring that pinches the cell membrane, creating two separate cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms, eventually developing into a new cell wall. Cytokinesis is crucial for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction in both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
