How does a broken bone heal?Cell division produces new healthy bone cells that replace the damaged cells.Similarly,cell division can replace aging cells and those that die from disease.
Cell division allows organisms to grow,repare damaged structures and reproduce.Growth and repair are two functions of cell division that helps maintain homeostasis.A third function is reproduction of the organism.Some organisms reproduce simply through cell division.Many single-celled organisms such as amoebas reproduce this way.Other organisms can reproduce when cell division leads to the growth of new structures.For exmple, a cactus can grow new stems and roots.These structures can then break away from the parent plant and become a seperate plant.

List 5 traits that most organisms have?
1.living things are organized;made of cells 2.living things grow and develope 3.living things respond to stimuli 4.living things maintain homeostasis 5.living things use energy 6.and last but not least living things reproduce(make others like themselves)
Which characteristic of life helps maintain homeostasis?
Yes it is. It is deffinately one of the characteristics of life

Which characteristic of living things is probably homeostasis?
The characteristic of living things that is homeostasis is an organisms ability to regulate body temperature.
How do livings differ form non-living things?
Living things are made up of cells and can preform living functions such as: reproduction, maintain homeostasis (internal environment management), react to stimuli, and obtain energy and nutrition.
Which characteristic of living things relates to stability?
the tendency to maintain temperature, for one is consistent among every living thing. as is internal pressure relative to the external environment. your question actually refers to homeostasis, which is the property of living things to maintain a stable internal environment relative to the external environment.
