How do organelles move around in a cell?

1 Answer

One way is cytoplasmic streaming .

Explanation:

Cytoplasmic streaming uses proteins called actin and myosin to create movement of the cytosol (this is the liquid part of the cytoplasm).

The movement of fluid will cause organelles to move inside of the cell.

Here is video I shot of cytoplasmic streaming making chloroplasts in elodea plants move. The activation of cytoplasmic streaming is a response by the plant to light.

Hope this helps!
