[[Cytoplasmic streaming]], also known as cyclosis, is the active movement of a cell's contents along the components of the cytoskeleton. While mainly seen in plants, all cell types use this process for transportation of waste, nutrients, and organelles to other parts of the cell.&nbsp;<ref name="Woodhouse-2013">{{cite journal | vauthors = Woodhouse FG, Goldstein RE | title = Cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells emerges naturally by microfilament self-organization | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 110 | issue = 35 | pages = 14132–7 | date = August 2013 | pmid = 23940314 | pmc = 3761564 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1302736110 | bibcode = 2013PNAS..11014132W | arxiv = 1308.6422 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Plant and algae cells are generally larger than many other cells; so cytoplasmic streaming is important in these types of cells. This is because the cell's extra volume requires cytoplasmic streaming in order to move organelles throughout the entire cell.<ref>{{cite journal|vauthors = Goldstein RE, van de Meent JW | title = A physical perspective on cytoplasmic streaming|journal=Interface Focus|volume = 5|issue = 4|pages=20150030|date=August 2015|pmid=26464789|pmc=4590424 | doi = 10.1098/rsfs.2015.0030 }}</ref> Organelles move along [[microfilament]]s in the cytoskeleton driven by [[myosin]] motors binding and pushing along [[actin]] filament bundles.<ref name="Woodhouse-2013" />&nbsp;
