This is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell is performing important life activities such as energy production, growth, and preparation for cell division.
This is the stage where a cell spends most of its time and is NOT actively
interphase
•This is the process by which an organism (for example an animal) takes in and makes use of food substances

not according to the current cell theory. (do not have cells)
Properties that arise from interactions of smaller parts, that aren’t otherwise present in the individual parts are known as
