How is plant cell cytokinesis different from animal cell cytokinesis?

a)The contractile filaments found in plant cells are structures composed of carbohydrates; the cleavage furrow in animal cells is composed of contractile phospholipids.

b)Plant cells deposit vesicles containing cell-wall building blocks on the metaphase plate; animal cells form a cleavage furrow.

c)The structural proteins of plant cells separate the two cells; in animal cells, a cell membrane separates the two daughter cells.

d)Plant cells divide after metaphase but before anaphase; animal cells divide after anaphase.

e)Plant cells undertake cytokinesis during anaphase; animal cells undertake cytokinesis during telophase.
