Is cell growth a continuous process?

Q1: What happens during cell growth?

During cell growth, cells become larger by creating more organelles and proteins and replicating DNA.

Q2: When does cell growth occur?

Cell growth occurs when the rate of cellular biosynthesis is higher than the rate of degradation of old organelles.

Q3: Is cell growth interrupted?

For most constituents of the cell, growth is a steady, continuous process interrupted only briefly at M phase during cell division.

Q4: How many phases are there in the cell cycle?

The cell cycle has four major parts, called phases.

Q5: What does cell growth involve?

Cell growth involves an increase in protein content, DNA content, cytoplasmic content, and RNA content.
