What is cyclosis?
The meaning of cyclosis movement
Cyclosis is the circulation of protoplasm in Cell. Cyclosis in other word is a type of movement found in microorganisms like amoeba.
In animals for example cyclosis occurs in protozoa like amoeba popularly known as amoeboid movement.
In amoeboid movement also known as cyclosis movement is a movement Aided by a mechanism called cytoplasmic streaming. The process called cyclosis involves the principle of the gel-sol conversion of cytoplasm that is the varying of the viscosity of cytoplasm and accompanying fluid pressure at different point within the cell membrane.
A typical example of cyclosis in organisms.
The cyclosis movement in amoeba Proteus is accompanied by a continuous streaming of the cytoplasm in the forward Direction
This movement is accompanied by the Locomotion of the whole cell. In the forward Direction the central plasma cell which remains attached to the inner wall of the plasma membrane but in another wall or point the gel is reconverted into a sol thereby creating pseudopodia in front and the driving Force from behind.
So in other words cyclosis is a type of movement found in organisms like amoeba. So it is worthy of note that cyclosis is an internal type of movement that is not Aided by structures like fingers, fins, shapes or bones but the is a type of liquefied movement.
