Yes. When ingestion takes place, food molecules are digested in the alimentary canal. Proteins are broken down in polypeptide and then to amino acids in the duodenum of the small intestine. They are now small and soluble particles ready to be absorbed in the blood stream. Amino acids are then, again, linked together to form polypeptide and then proteins. Proteins are needed for growth when cell division takes place through the process of mitosis. ( and also meiosis in which sex cells are formed with haploid number of chromosomes. )

Do adult skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Why are cells from a blastula ideal to examine mitosis?
Unlike most cells in an adult body, an embryonic mass of cells is always dividing. Most cells in the adult body is quiscent and will not divide unless signals have been given to them to divide, and many cells such as muscle and nerve cells have even lost the ability to divide.
How long does it take for one parent cell to become two daughter cells?
In humans, rapidly dividing cells, such as skin and gut divide as often as once per day. Other cells such as brain and nerve tissue divide rarely in an adult.
Can all cells in an adult undergo mitotic division at any given time?
No, not all cells are capable of mitotic division in an adult. Certain types of cells, called permanent cells (eg. heart muscle cells and brain cells) can not undergo mitosis in an adult. Another type of cell that cannot undergo mitosis is the mammalian red blood cell - which has no nucleus so cannot divide.
What is it called with the cell divide to create new cells is called?
It is called mitosis when regular cells divide. It is called meiosis when sex cells divide.
Do adult skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Why the skin cells of an adult must divide?
All cells die at some point. If cells, including skin cells didn't divide, there would be no living skin cells. And that's not good.
What cells do not divide during mitosis?
Germ cells use a similar, but not identical, process to divide known as meiosis. Many adult cells do not divide at all under normal conditions, such as neurons and red blood cells.
Why are cells from a blastula ideal to examine mitosis?
Unlike most cells in an adult body, an embryonic mass of cells is always dividing. Most cells in the adult body is quiscent and will not divide unless signals have been given to them to divide, and many cells such as muscle and nerve cells have even lost the ability to divide.
What is a special feature for a stem cell?
Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.

What is an example of a type of cell that divides very often in an adult human?
Epithelial cells, such as those lining the intestines or skin, divide frequently in adult humans to help maintain and repair tissues.
Why do the cells of an adult continue to divide after the adult has stopped growing?
Cells continue to divide in adults for tissue repair, maintenance, and renewal. This allows the body to replace damaged or old cells to maintain proper function and heal injuries. It also helps in preventing diseases and maintaining overall health.
When we grow do our cells grow or divide?
Cells divide.
Do skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Do endothelial cells divide?
Yes, endothelial cells divide. It is important that these cells divide to replace old/dead cells and to create new blood vessels.
