Cell Cycle: An Interactive Animation (399 words)
During development from stem to fully differentiated, cells in the body alternately divide (mitosis) and "appear" to be resting (interphase).
Interphase, which appears to the eye to be a resting stage between cell divisions, is actually a period of diverse activities.
All of the cell's energy is focused on the complex and orderly division into two similar daughter cells.
Cell growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1661 words)
When used in the context of reproduction of living cells the phrase "cell growth" is shorthand for the idea of "growth in cell numbers by means of cell reproduction." During cell reproduction one cell (the "parental" cell) divides to produce daughter cells.
Large cells that are primarily for nutrient storage can have a smooth surface membrane, but metabolically active large cells often have some sort of folding of the cell surface membrane in order to increase the surface area available for transport functions.
Increases in the size of plant cells is complicated by the fact that almost all plant cells are inside of a solid cell wall.
