A cell spends most of its time engaged in regular life processes, primarily in the interphase stage of the cell cycle. Interphase includes several phases (G1, S, and G2) where the cell is metabolically active, growing, and preparing for division. During this time, it carries out essential functions such as protein synthesis, energy production, and replication of DNA. Cell division occurs less frequently compared to the long duration spent in interphase.
