D2.1.14 Cell growth during interphase (HL) Notes
Interphase Is Metabolically Active
Interphase is often misunderstood as a "resting" phase, but it's actually a period of intense metabolic activity.
The cell grows, replicates DNA, and prepares for division.
Interphase occupies the majority of the cell cycle.
Phases of the cell cycleCommon Mistake
Interphase is not part of mitosis itself but is essential for ensuring the cell is ready to divide.
The Key Drivers Of Interphase
Cell size and mass doubles during interphase. For this growth to happen, it's dependent on the biosynthesis of cell components like proteins, DNA, and the growth and division of mitochondria and chloroplast.
Protein Synthesis
Ribosomes produce proteins needed for growth, DNA replication, and cell division.
Enzymes like DNA polymerase are synthesized to facilitate DNA replication during S phase.
Structural and regulatory proteins accumulate to support increased cell size.
