Why is the lifetime of a skin cell so short?

Skin cells, epithelial cells need to be renewed rather quickly in the skin, so they get into Mitosis phase in a short time; neurons generally do not reproduce, so they stay in interphase stage for a long time.

Tiger sharks only have pups in a lifetime because there lifetime is so short they only live about 10 years

I would think a skin cell because there are skin cells floating around every were so when they were testing it they would see a skin cell Cork Cell

Only plant cells have cell walls. So, no, human skin cells do not have cell walls.

Yep, each skin cell is its own cell but they are so small thay the group together to look like one.

Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria

The biggest cell would be the skin, because it is part of the body just not inside and it does not say the biggest cell inside the body so it would be the skin

it is so short because it wants to be

The lifespan of an octopus is relatively short, especially in females where most die after a single reproductive cycle so yes they grow throughout their lifetime.

Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often

Muscle cells are very active. So they have more

Muscle cells are more active. So they have more

So, basically, the cell membrane is on the outside of the cells. Think of you skin, to the cell the cell membrane is its skin, this is the best way to picture it, but The cell membrane is also used by the cell to engulf or eat things... Good Luck

About 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70.

salamanders are AMPHIBIANS. not reptiles. even so, they do shed their skin several times during their lifetime - its more shows them as healthy and growing than close to death.

Onion skin is that filmy stuff between the layers of onions. It's just one cell thick, so it's idea for looking at through a microscope.

A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus, such as a plant cell or a skin cell. A prokaryotic cell is one that has no nucleus, such as bacteria. so the answer is bacteria...

No, unicellular is defined as "one cell" so the organism is only made of one cell.

a cell is a thing in our bodies that carry blood to all parts of the body. an organism is a big thing that holds blood. a cell can have a lifetime span and a death span, because cells and organisms, rely on each other. if one cell dies, its hard for another to reproduce and create more cells. so one cell dieing could be a heartbeat from death, and i strong cell could be…

The nerve cell is very short and wide so there for is easier to transmit messages to the brain. :)

because the skin is made up of cells which are microscopic(naked eye cant see only microscope)so if the cell get infected we open you up then take out the infected stuff so the reson is the skin cell sometimes get infected too so look at them and u well get an early indiction

an egg cell of an organism is called a gamete which always has half the number of chromosome of a regular body cell (called somatic cell). So the answer wouldl be 14

it depends what phone you have so see your phone company

Because gene that codes for hemoglobin is inactive in the skin cell and so not produced, as compared to bone marrow where it is actively produced by immature red blood cells. Its called selective gene expression.

stem cells are cells that have not deviated to become a specialized cell like a skin cell or heart cell. So they can be used to replaced damaged cells

because the cell wall protects what enters and leaves the cell, so therefore the animal cell has skin to protect, when the animals have sex the cells come together to have chromosones!

the cell offers the other parts of the cell to float and become stronger but it takes energy from other parts of the cell so it becomes stronger. this is why your cheeks are not like skin but its gummy because of your cells.

Probably not. Eventually it will, but that won't be in your lifetime, your kids lifetime, their kids lifetime, their kids lifetime, and so on. So again, probably not...

It is mitosis. skin cells are body cells so they do not go though meiosis like what sex cells go though.

Sometimes the sun (because it's so hot) can make you get fever blisters and many other blemishes. So I say it's the sun, and I am doing research on Skin Cell's.

the cheek cell is not skin and so it is not like a finger, plus the finger cell would hurt much more, cheek cells are just a scraping with a touch of Iodine.

the function of the onion cell dictates that they protect the onion from radiation so if you wear onion skin on your face when you go in to a radiation chamber you will be safe.

It doesn't produce the same outcome because your skin has sensors and blood vessels underneath to trigger more cell production to heal the wound. Hair is different. It doesn't have any blood vessels on it so it can't bleed. Nails wont bleed but if you cut them too short and rip or puncture the skin it can happen. Hopefully this helps

Skin cells divide really quickly because our skin needs a constant renewal of cells. Our skin becomes worn-out, and the life-span of a skin cell isn't even that long, so our skin cells divide really quickly to replace the dying and or worn-out skin cells. If our skin cells didn't divide that quickly, there would be many places where we would be bleeding because our skin cells couldn't divide fast enough to keep the blood…

Pit pulls have short hair so you can see their skin easily. They also have high metabolisms and have blood vessels close to the skin so you can see a deeper pink color than you can in people.

cell membrane is separates the inside of the cell from the outside its like humans have skin to protect us animal cells have a cell membrane and so do plant cells but plant cells have extra protection-cell wall- because they are not as strong as animal cells

The UV light from the sun damages the cell and as a person ages the cell gets weaker and causes skin cancer. Because of the thinness of the ozone layer more UV light is hitting the earth. The same UV light is used in tanning beds so those are also dangerous.

Short answer: we do not have cell walls in our cells as plants do. The cell wall is required so that the turgor pressure has something to push against. Since we do not have cell walls, this is impossible.

Mitochondria are the cell structures (organelles) which are responsible for releasing energy from glucose (sugar) in a cell. The number of mitochondria in a cell will depend on how much energy that cell needs. Skin cells basically form a protective layer on the body. They are produced by a layer of cells beneath the skin which divide to produce new cells. The cells above get pushed gradually to the surface. As this happens they become…

Muscles have many mitochondria. It needs much energy for contractions

I wouldn't think so. but after a short period of time it may hurt

This type of epithelial cell is in the respiratory tract and it uses the cilia to beat up all the dust and the dead skin we breath in so we cough it up. This type of cell with the little cilia moves mucous that has trapped dirt and debris so the body can get rid of it.

You would die. A cell can only live for so long before undergoing Mitosis and replecating itself, if your skin was unable to do this then your skin would die, rot and fall off. You cannot live without skin.

okay, well. Ribosomes create protein yeah? and hormones are made from protein So therefore more proteins are needed in the hormone cell then the skin cell. and least... that's my thoughts...I'm not to certain about it tho

A cilliated Epithelial cell is in th throaght and it uses the strings on th end of it to beat up all the dust and the dead skin we breath in so we cough it up.

Hi there! Yes, it is - Actually, skin cancer is a most common form of cancer a human can face associated with different environmental problem. I have done some research online and came to know that there 3 types of skin cancer that are called as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (the nonmelanoma skin cancers), and melanoma. Now, it differ on individual skin, the type of disorder individual possess. So, if you suffering…

Cytoplasm because its a chemical reacton so when you touch somethin hot it reacts and you obviously drop it

1)Reason: a.Charger or electro circuit can't be fit for the battery. b.Overcharge and overdischarge, etc. c.Battery can't comply with the charging requirement 2)Solution: a.Use the original charger. b.Charge the battery after it automatically powers off , then full charge the battery. c.Avoid erroneous usage of battery, such as heavy pressure, short circuit, fall off and so on.

Mitosis is responsible for replication of cells, so when our cell(skin, blood) dies, they are being constanly replaced. Hope you like the answer :)

Mitosis most commonly occurs in organs that have a natural replacement function. Skin cells for example are constantly sloughed from the body - so at the base of the skin are skin stem cells that when they divide by mitosis produce another stem cell and a cell that will differentiate into a new skin cell. Other organs that naturally replace cells include the intestine, blood (mainly in bone marrow) and in males the immature sperm…
