It looks like there are several related, but distinct questions that were joined.

  • A hair has living cells at the root, but the rest of the hair contains only dead cells.
  • All living things (on earth) consist of cells. They can be large, or small. Viruses have some aspects of "life", but can not live without a host. Prions also have some aspects of life, but also require a host.
  • Cells ARE living things... assuming they are still alive. Like all living things, they can also die.
  • Yes, all living cells come from the division of other living cells. Fertilized eggs result from merging two cells that were previously created with cellular division, and can have a unique identity different from both parents. Viruses can be essentially assembled from parts, but aren't truly living cells.
  • A "daughter" cell might come from other living cells. An oocyte or sperm cell also comes from other cells. As mentioned above, all cells come from some form of cell division.
  • The number of cells in a living organism would be dependent on the type of organism. There are many unicellular organisms. Some molds might only have a few cells. Notes indicate that a human has about between 10 trillion and 100 trillion, or 1013 to 1014 cells.
  • Notes indicate that there are about ten times as many bacteria living on and in a single human body as the number of cells in the body (wikipedia says 100 trillion too (1014).
  • Major components of the cell are plasma membranes, cytoplasm, nucleus (eukaryotes ), DNA, RNA, Proteins, etc.

Every cell in every living thing comes from another cell that does what?

Every cell in every living thing comes from another cell that divides through a process called cell division. During cell division, a cell makes a copy of its genetic material and divides into two daughter cells that are identical to the original cell. This allows for growth, repair, and maintenance of living organisms.


Does every cell carry out cell division?

Yes


What stage of cell division can the cells be seen?

Cells can be seen in every stages of cell division.


Is a nucleus a living cell?

No but a nucleus is in every living cell


Is cytoplasm found in every living cell?

Yes, cytoplasm is present in every living cell.


If every living cell is a division of a previous cell would it follow that every living cell has been living for billions of years?

Not in a literal, physical skkkkense. If a dividing cell passes on half its material to each of two offspring, and then one qiikukuykuarter is present in each of their offspring, etc. (which would be an overestimate, since cells are ceaselessly repairing and replacing parts of themselves), then hthrt6u6ukin a relatively setgmall number of generations--perhaps fifty--the average amount of the original cell present in each descendant wouldthrth amount to less than one atom each. The new cells are descended from tgghe original, but they are made of new material. What has lived on for eons is the gradually evolving pattern, the basic design for the cell: a nucleus containing DNA, organelles to manage protein synthesis, protective membrane, and so on. This pattern is what has lived on for billions of years, forming the basis of all cellular life on Earth. iiiiiiihiihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihih Or it is said that a cell is the basic unit of life.


Are plasma membranes in every living cell?

Yes, Plasma membrane is present in every living cell.


Why is cell division linked to cell theory?

Cell division is linked to the cell theory because the cell theory states that all cells come from existing cells. The new cells created in cell division came from already existing cells.


Which is the structure found in every cell?

Cell membrane is common to every cell.So it can be seen in every living cell.


Which organelles are found in animal cells and help cells divide?

The organelles found in animal cells that help with cell division are the centrioles and the microtubules. Centrioles are involved in organizing microtubules during cell division, while microtubules help to form the mitotic spindle, which ensures accurate separation of chromosomes during cell division.


Every living cell has a cell membrane and?
