one of the reasons cells are small is because the larger the cell gets, the less surface area there will be to cover the increasing volume.

less surface area for more volume means that the cell will need to expend more energy transporting things around the cell. also, there will be a much more difficult time exchanging molecules into and out of the cell

and if a cell does not divide, eventually, that overgrowing cell will wear out and will need to be replaced, but if it can not divide, it will just die out

for unicellular organisms, the organism must divide to reproduce as well.

for multicellular organisms, the developing embryo needs cells to divide and differentiate to create specialized cells to make the processes, the organism needs possible for that organism. ex: liver cell is not like a skin cell.
there are different ways of communications and it is very complex, so i will not get too into cell differentiation, but just note that it is complex.

How many nuclear divisions does mitosis go through?

Impossible to calulate / The cell will continue to divide (the organism will continue to grow) until the organism is fully developed.


Do boys grow up?

Yes, boys grow up physically and emotionally. They go through puberty, experience changes in their bodies, and mature into adults over time. Growth and development continue throughout their lives in different aspects such as relationships, careers, and personal development.


Why is it important for the Cell cycle to be highly regulated?

Regulation of the cell cycle prevents cell from multiplying and growing when they are not needed. In abnormal cells, they continue through the cell cycle without crucial stop and checkpoints . These checkpoints are important because this is how the cell determines if the phase before was carried out properly. Lots of cancers form because of this. Cell that proliferate through its cycle and continue to grow and grow and grow.


What occurs after S phase apex?

After the S phase in the cell cycle, cells enter the G2 phase where they continue to grow and prepare for cell division. During the G2 phase, the cell undergoes further growth and replicates important organelles. Finally, the cell enters the M phase (mitosis) where it divides into two daughter cells.


What two parts of the body continue to grow for your entire life?

Your nose. After adults have reached their full height, some parts of their bodies continue to grow. Name these parts. toenails, fingernails, hair...you actually shrink when you grow older because the platelets in between your spinal segments flatten Any part of your body that is made of cartilage continues to grow. As in Ears and Nose. Of course there are fingernails and hair but I wouldn't consider those "body parts." Hope that helped.Your liver heals itself and lives forever unless it loses that capability due to fat, disease, or alcohol. Your nails and hair grow your entire life.

Why do cells not continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger?

The cell is controlled by a single organelle, the nucleus. If a cell were to continue to grow bigger and bigger, the difficulty required for the nucleus to communicate with other organelles would increase greatly. This is why cells divide, through the process of mitosis.

Do multi cellular organisms grow?

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.

Why is there an infinite number of prime numbers?

Numbers never end. You can always continue to add another digit to a number and make it larger. Because this is the case, you can continue to look forward forever for prime numbers. The difference/distance between the numbers may grow, but prime numbers will continue to appear.


Why cells do not continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger?

As a cell gets larger, in order to continue growing, the amount of mass needed grows exponentially. As such, the amount of energy needed grows as well. Without this extra energy, the growth slows down.


Most muticellular organisms grow and develop because their cell continue to?

Most multicellular organisms grow and develop because their cells continue to divide and differentiate into specialized cell types for specific functions. This process allows the organism to increase in size and complexity, ultimately forming different tissues, organs, and systems that work together for survival and reproduction.
