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

Biology
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]2 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.

timama [110]
Hyponatremia is a condition where the concentration of sodium is abnormally low in the body. Sodium acts as an electrolyte that helps in maintaining the amount of water in the body.

Extremely low amount of sodium in the body leads to weakness, headache, etc. During periods of intense activity body releases vasopressin hormone that helps body to retain water. Endurance athletes become vulnerable to developing hyponatremia because these athletes during water during strenuous exercises. This makes the concentration of sodium low in the body by diluting it with more water.This may lead to hyponatremia.
