After a period of growth, the surface area to volume ratio is unsustainable. The cell would physically be unable to survive as a consequence (eg. it is unable to remove wastes or transport nutrients, etc.) so it divides to reach a more sustainable surface area to volume ratio.
This is beneficial for the organism because cells do die and need to be replaced.

∙ 14y agoHuman cells generally only live for 15 years and then a copy is produced to replace the original cell. Brain cells are the exception. Additionally, injuries may kill cells and require replacements. Clap your hands together and you'll kill a few thousand hand cells, all of which have to be replicated.
AND CELL WILL ONLY LIVE FOR 8-14 HOURS AFTER LEAVING THE BODY ESPECIALLY FOR VIRUS CELLS

∙ 8y agot is important because you are loosing nearly as many cells as what's growing back. Old cells are constantly dying and new cells are required to replace them

Are carbohydrates needed to make new body cells?
Yes. But protein and water is more necessary.
What carries needed substances to body cells?
Needed substances are carried to the body's cells by RBC's, or red blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a substance that allows proteins to bond to them. However WBC's(white blood cells) provide the body's cells with much needed protection.
Why is mitosis used in an animal body?
Since cells die, new cells must be created. Mitosis is used to create new body cells (somatic).
How does the body get blood cells?
When the body needs a specific type of blood cell, the bone marrow uses its stockpile of stem cells to produce the kind of mature cells needed
How does thee body know when to make new cells?
New cells are created by cell division.
How many new cells needed for a human body in an hour?
300 trillion
What are chemical substances needed by body cells that result from the process of digestion?
Nutrients are needed by body cells.
Chemical substances needed by body cells that result from the process of digestion are called what?
Nutrients are needed by body cells.
Are carbohydrates needed to make new body cells?
Yes. But protein and water is more necessary.
Why is DNA replication?
The replication of DNA forms new DNA which form new cells when put in the cells of new nucleus's. The body continuously needs to produce new cells through mitosis for growth and repair and therefore without DNA replication these new cells would not be able to be made, which are needed in the human body.

What does ATP does to our body?
It is energy for our body's cells, that is broken down by the cells when energy is needed.
What will protein do for your body?
Protein helps to repair damaged cells and build new cells in place of the dead ones. Body builders use proteins to build up extra cells than actually needed.
Nutrition needed by the cells of the body?
FOOD
What does the cells in the body need?
oxygen is needed
What is needed substances are carried to the body cells?
Blood
