Movement Inside Cells

All cells – whether they be animal cells, plant cells, fungal cells, or single-celled organisms like amoeba or protozoa – contain a number of components crucial to that cell's continued function: Organelles process nutrients, ensure healthy cell division and keep the cell "programmed" to complete its intended function inside a body or other environment. But these components aren't fixed to specific points inside the cell, like a human's organs are. They float around inside the cell along what appears to be a circular current, and when nutrients are taken into a cell, or something is processed or produced within a cell to be sent elsewhere, those nutrients are carried to the appropriate place. All of this is done through cytoplasmic streaming. However, despite its importance, scientists don't fully understand how it occurs. This is frustrating, given that cyclosis is what allows simpler single-celled organisms to move when they don't possess cilia or flagella.
