An organism will replicate (cell divide) when it encounters a favorable environment that is rich or plentiful in the requirements that it needs to multiply. Most organisms do not replicate (exponentially) unless there is a nutrient in the environment that it needs. If there is low concentrations of the required nutrient then it will only divide in order to stay alive and continue its life cycle.
For example:
Most bacteria that cause disease in humans are opportunistic bacteria. Meaning that they live and are found on humans but they do not cause disease until they are given the chance to. At that point, they will multiply (cell divide exponentially) and cause disease.

Cell division is responsible for growth because the new cells replace the dead cells in an organism. The new cells keep the organism alive by continuing to the job of the cell that it divided from.

No,they do not. They reproduce by cell division. Cell division is when a micro organism divides itself into two.

Cell division is responsible for growth because the new cells replace the dead cells in an organism. The new cells keep the organism alive by continuing to the job of the cell that it divided from.
Growth in living things occurs primarily from a combination of nutrient intake and genes for growth which are turned "on" (and tend to turn "off" with aging).

Cell division has three purposes for the organism. The are responsible for the reproduction, growth and maintenance of both single celled and multicellular organisms.

In multicellular organisms, cell division must be carefully regulated to ensure that growth of the organism is coordinated, replacement of dead cells takes place in an orderly fashion, and repair of injured cells is initiated when needed. Cell division must also be halted when growth and repair are completed. Cell division is controlled by a variety of factors. One of the most important controls is carried out by molecules called growth factors.
Cell division basically sustains the life of an organism. Through cell division, damaged cells are repaired and dead cells are replaced, which allow the organism to grow and develop.
Yes, both cell division and cell enlargement result in growth.
Multicellular organisms grow through cell division. A multicellular organism's growth and development start with one cell, which then divides into two cells. The division will continue, with each division increasing by a factor of two.
Your growth is cell growth (and cell division).
