Why a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase.

Biology
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
4 0

A cell spends the majority of its time in interphase because during this period the cell grows and synthesizes materials required during and after its division. During interphase, the cell duplicates its genetic material.

The cell cycle can be divided into a long interphase and a short mitotic (M) phase.

The interphase can in turn be divided into three phases: Growth 1 (G1) phase,  Synthesis (S) phase and Growth 2 (G2) phase.

During the S phase, the cell duplicates its genetic material, which is sharply controlled by different cellular mechanisms (e.g., checkpoint mechanisms).

During G1 and G2 phases,  the cell synthesizes all the proteins required during the M phase and after cell division.

Where does the waste material in the body come from and why does the body need to get rid of these waste materials?
Marizza181 [45]
"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.

One of the reasons bacteria can be so deadly is because they multiply very quickly. E. coli has a doubling time of around 15 min
Travka [436]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 25600 bacteria.

Explanation:

Bacteria can divide and produce double their population very quickly. As mentioned in the question bacteria multiply every 15 minutes to their double number. Finding the number of bacteria after 2 hours is simple mathematics. Two hours means 120 minutes and dividing it to 15. The result will be 8 which mean the bacteria double their colony 8 time so,

100×2 to the power 8 = 100 (initial number of bacteria)×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2= 25600

Thus, the correct answer is option- 25600 bacteria.
