Cyclosis, also known as cytoplasmic streaming, is a term used to describe a type of movement that occurs within a plant cell's cytoplasm. It is a slow and rhythmic circulation of the cell's contents, which helps to distribute nutrients, organelles and other substances throughout the cell. While cyclosis is a commonly used term, there are also several synonyms that can be used to describe this process. Some alternatives to the word cyclosis include protoplasmic streaming, endoplasmic streaming, and cytoplasmic circulation. Regardless of the terminology used, this process remains an important mechanism of intracellular transport in plants, helping to maintain the proper functioning of the cell.
