Answer:

Cytokinesis: Animal cell vs plant cell

In an animal cell, the cell divides itself by a "cleavage furrow", and it look basically like the name. It looks similar to if you wrapped a rubber band around a balloon; it works similarly, too. The "rubber band" constricts the cell until it finally separates into the new daughter cells.

In a plant cell, it builds a cell wall down the middle of itself until, eventually, the cell simply becomes two different cells, each with it's own cell wall where they used to connect
