What happens to an organism when one cell dies?

Answer 1

Life is based on the ability of cells to reproduce, or make copies of themselves. This is done by a process called cell division = one cell divides into two cells. * For one-celled organisms, cell division = reproduction; each cell division not only produces a new cell, it also produces a new organism (bacteria, protists). * For multicellular organisms (like us) cell division allows an organism to grow and develop from a single cell to trillions of cells, and also to repair and replace cells.

Answer 2

this should be common sense...but if an organism is a unicellular organism it of course would die too, because cells carry out all metabolic processes. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and once that dies the cell will die because it no longer has anything to tell it 'what to do to survive'. It's like a human living without a brain..not possible :( However, normally unicellular cells reproduce rather quickly so chances are it has already made several replications of itself before it's death :)

Answer 3

It depends on which cells died and how many. Cells die regularly and all the time - this is normal. But if a small amount of key cells (like in the brain) are killed, the entire organism could die. And, of course, if all the cells in the organism dies, then the organism dies too.

Answer 4

When a unicellular organism dies, the organism dies, just like a human would die.

Answer 5

Unless it is a brain cell, it will be replaced

Answer 6

no life will occur
