Celletillvækst
Celletillvækst, meaning cell growth in Danish, refers to the process by which a cell increases in physical size. This fundamental biological process is essential for the development of all living organisms, from single-celled bacteria to complex multicellular beings. Cell growth is not a singular event but rather a continuum involving the synthesis of new cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which contribute to an overall increase in biomass.
In unicellular organisms, celletillvækst is directly linked to reproduction. As a cell grows, it eventually reaches
The regulation of celletillvækst is tightly controlled by a complex interplay of internal and external signals.
