S phaseS phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved. G1/S transition Entry into S-phase is controlled by the G1 restriction point (R), which commits cells to the remainder of the cell-cycle if there is adequate nutrients and growth signaling.
Cycle cellulairevignette|335x335px|Cycle cellulaire d'une cellule eucaryote (car présence de la mitose) Le cycle cellulaire est l'ensemble des étapes qui constituent et délimitent la vie d'une cellule. Ce cycle est composé de plusieurs phases de croissance dans lesquelles la cellule grossit et duplique son matériel génétique (interphase) et d'une phase où celle-ci se divise (mitose) pour donner naissance à deux cellules filles identiques (dans le cas de la mitose). Les cellules filles reproduiront ce cycle, et ainsi de suite.
G2 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G2 phase G2 phase, Gap 2 phase, or Growth 2 phase, is the third subphase of interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. G2 phase ends with the onset of prophase, the first phase of mitosis in which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes. G2 phase is a period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis.
G1 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G1 phase The G1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis. G1 phase ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase. Around 30 to 40 percent of cell cycle time is spent in the G1 phase.
Rate equationIn chemistry, the rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is a mathematical equation that links the rate of forward reaction with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders). For many reactions, the initial rate is given by a power law such as where [\mathrm{A}] and [\mathrm{B}] express the concentration of the species \mathrm{A} and \mathrm{B}, usually in moles per liter (molarity, M).
G0 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G0 phase The G0 phase describes a cellular state outside of the replicative cell cycle. Classically, cells were thought to enter G0 primarily due to environmental factors, like nutrient deprivation, that limited the resources necessary for proliferation. Thus it was thought of as a resting phase. G0 is now known to take different forms and occur for multiple reasons. For example, most adult neuronal cells, among the most metabolically active cells in the body, are fully differentiated and reside in a terminal G0 phase.
Reaction rateThe reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically. For example, the oxidative rusting of iron under Earth's atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years, but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second.
Cell growthCell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism). Cell growth is not to be confused with cell division or the cell cycle, which are distinct processes that can occur alongside cell growth during the process of cell proliferation, where a cell, known as the mother cell, grows and divides to produce two daughter cells.
Croissance économiquethumb|upright=2|Contribution (en %) de la croissance des pays à celle mondiale (2011). La croissance économique désigne la variation positive de la production de biens et de services dans une économie sur une période donnée, généralement une longue période. En pratique, l'indicateur le plus utilisé pour la mesurer est le produit intérieur brut (PIB). Il est mesuré « en volume » ou « à prix constants » pour corriger les effets de l'inflation. Le taux de croissance, lui, est le taux de variation du PIB.
Constante de vitesseDans la cinétique chimique, la constante de vitesse (ou le coefficient de vitesse) k est une mesure de la vitesse d'une réaction chimique. Pour une réaction élémentaire ou une étape élémentaire entre les réactifs A et B, la vitesse de réaction dépend des concentrations. La vitesse de réaction dans un réacteur fermé au cours du temps noté v(t) peut être déterminé par l'expression: Ici la constante de proportionnalité k(T) est la constante de vitesse de la réaction, qui dépend de la température.
