What two ways that the growth of an organism can be accomplished through the events of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, it's like this - an organism can grow through cell division, where one cell becomes two, and then those two become four, and so on. Another way is through cell enlargement, where the cells themselves just get bigger. It's like when you eat a lot of Pizza and your stomach cells are like, "I gotta stretch to make room for all this cheese."

Answer 2

Cell growth is an essential requirement for cell cycle progression. While it is often held that growth is independent of cell cycle position, this relationship has not been closely scrutinized. Here we show that in budding yeast, the ability of cells to grow changes during the cell cycle. We find that cell growth is faster in cells arrested in anaphase and G1 than in other cell cycle stages. We demonstrate that the establishment of a polarized actin cytoskeleton-either as a consequence of normal cell division or through activation of the mating pheromone response-potently attenuates protein synthesis and growth. We furthermore show by population and single-cell analysis that growth varies during an unperturbed cell cycle, slowing at the time of polarized growth. Our study uncovers a fundamental relationship whereby cell cycle position regulates growth.

Answer 3

The growth of an organism can be achieved through two key events of the cell cycle: cell division (mitosis) and cell growth (interphase). In mitosis, a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, increasing the overall cell count. During interphase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes proteins and organelles needed for cellular functions and overall organismal growth.
