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.
This process is called growth. Growth can involve an increase in cell number (cell proliferation), cell size, or overall volume of the organism.
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).
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.
The hormone that stimulates an increase in the size and number of cells is called growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in promoting growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and animals.
Cells increase in number through a process called cell division, where a cell divides into two daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction in organisms. Cell division can occur through mitosis, which produces identical daughter cells, or meiosis, which produces sex cells with half the genetic material.
This process is called growth. Growth can involve an increase in cell number (cell proliferation), cell size, or overall volume of the organism.
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.

The process that causes the number of cells to increase is called cell division or cell proliferation. During cell division, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows for growth, as well as the replacement and repair of damaged or old cells in the body.

A growth factor would increase cyclin levels. Growth factors signal a cell to enter the cell cycle, which involves an increase in cyclin levels to regulate cell division.
Cell growth refers to the increase in the size and/or number of cells in an organism. It is a fundamental biological process that plays a crucial role in development, repair, and the maintenance of tissues in living organisms. Cell growth is tightly regulated by various factors to ensure proper functioning of the organism.

Uncontrolled cell growth is usually called a tumor. When there is a condition that causes uncontrolled cell growth of abnormal cells, it is called cancer.
