If cytoplasmic streaming is occurring, you will see the chloroplasts circulating around the cell. Cytoplasmic streaming is controlled by microfilaments in the cell cytoskeleton. These filaments of actin and myosin move cellular contents in an active process that requires energy. What is the benefit to the cell of spending energy to circulate the chloroplasts throughout the cytoplasm?

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about cyclosis, or cytoplasmic streaming? During cyclosis, chloroplasts cross the cell wall to enter new plant cells. Chloroplast molecules travel around a central vacuole during cytoplasmic streaming. All of the above are true. Cyclosis allows chloroplasts to maximize the amount of light that reaches them.
