When the cells of an organism increase in number size or volume this is called?

This process is called growth. Growth can involve an increase in cell number (cell proliferation), cell size, or overall volume of the organism.


Growth due to an increase in cell number is called?

Growth that is due to an increase in cell number results from an increased rate of mitotic cell division and is termed hyperplasia. Consequently, growth of a tissue or organ due to an increase in cell size is termed hypertrophy.


What do you call a permanent increase in body size and dry mass of an organism from an increase in cell numbers?

The term for a permanent increase in body size and dry mass of an organism resulting from an increase in cell numbers is "hyperplasia." Hyperplasia refers to the growth of tissues or organs due to an increase in the number of cells, rather than an increase in cell size. This process is essential for the development and growth of organisms, allowing them to increase in size and complexity over time.


Increase in size or number of cells?

Cell proliferation is the process of cell growth and division, leading to an increase in the size or number of cells in a tissue or organ. This can occur through mitosis (cell division) or hypertrophy (increase in cell size).


What is the clinical term for the increase in cell number?

Hyperplasia is the clinical term for the increase in cell number in a tissue or organ. It differs from hypertrophy, which refers to the increase in cell size.

How organs grow?

Organisms grow by cell division or mitosis which causes increase in number of cells , and then by increase in size of cell .


What is a term that refers to a decrease in cell size?

Atrophy- refers to a decrease in cell size.


Is bacteria growth is mostly a simple increase in size?

No, bacteria growth involves both an increase in size (cell growth) and an increase in number (cell division). Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission, in which one bacterium divides into two daughter cells. This enables exponential growth of bacterial populations under favorable conditions.


Does a cell increase in size and usually makes copies for its DNA?

True.When a cells size increases,it can't transfer enough nutrients throughout the cell if the cell size is big.So it makes copies of its DNA
