Is a cell metabolically active during interphase?

Yes it is


What is the characteristic property of metabolically active cell?

Metabolically active cells have many characteristic properties. A healthy growth of cell number and cell activity is one property. Low numbers of decaying cells and active cell proliferation are other characteristics of metabolic activity.


What occur in the interphase?

The cell is metabolically active, synthesizing proteins, and growing rapidly


What occurs in the G1 interphase?

The cell is metabolically active, synthesizing proteins, and growing rapidly


Why is mitochondria kept in sucrose solution when extracted from cell?

Mitochondria are kept in sucrose solution to keep them metabolically active


What would happen to the eye of a cell if there are no mitochondria?

Metabolically very active ones. Mainly like heart,muscles


Why are metabolically active cells limited to very small sizes?

They are more metabolically acitve then larger cells because they have a smaller surface area to volume ratio then the larger cells which means the enzymes and proteins can move around faster and this makes the cell metabolically active.


Is photovoltaic cells a living thing?

A photovoltaic cell is NOT a living entity. Living things have metabolically active cells; they grow; they reproduce; etc. A voltaic cell does none of these things.


Why would some cells like muscle cells have more mitochondria than another type of cell?

They are metabolically very active. They need a lot of energy


What organelle are there great amounts in cells that use a lot of energy?

In eukaryotic cells that are very metabolically active (such as liver or muscle cells) you will find a lot of mitochondria.These will produce ATP via the electron transfer chain to be used as cellular energy.


Could cell survive without a cell membranes?

At this time, there is no evidence that prokaryote or eukaryote cells can survive without a cell membrane and be metabolically active at the same time.Many viruses don't have cell membrane but a a protein core instead. Viruses cannot be considered as living cell but infective particles because they are not active outside host cells.
