Cell growth occurs in interphase or mitosis?
docker41 [41]
Cell growth occurs in interphase.

The cell cycle is composed of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. It can be described in five steps.

The first three steps of the cell cycle are called the interphase. This is where the cell grows, the cell matures, and where the cell carries out its life function. The fourth step is mitosis and the fifth step is cytokinesis.

The interphase has three stages. These are Gap 1, synthesis, and Gap 2.

Gap 1 or growth 1 - where the cell grows and functions normally. Cell growth is twice its original size.

Synthesis - where cell duplicates its DNA

Gap 2 or growth 2 - where cell resumes its growth in preparation for division.

All organisms in an ecosystem are interrelated by the abiotic and biotic resources they use in the course of their lives:
jonny [76]

<span>a)      </span>The milkweed is the primary producer in the ecosystem. It manufactures food from the abiotic factors in the soil such as nitrates and water and those in the atmosphere such as carbon-dioxide and sunlight. The milk weed is then fed on by the caterpillar and a primary consumer. The caterpillar is then fed on the mocking bird (secondary consumer)

<span>b)      </span>Increased human population growth and their activities have resulted in the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This has increased the global temperature. This increase of global temperature increase ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching.

Another example is depletion of water sources by human activities hence causing drought. Drought reduces the amount of vegetation growth due to scarcity of water in the soil (due to lowering of the water table) for plant growth.
