Why do cells grow and reproduce?

Answer 1

Cells should be able to have the ability to reproduce because if they dont how would you live. For example if you get a cut and your actual meat is showing the cells are reproducing when u see the scab.

Answer 2

2 reasons:

1) Cells DNA can't keep up with a really large cell. The larger the cell is, the more DNA is needed to manage it. If you have a large cell with only a little bit of DNA, the DNA can;t keep track of all the functions of the cell.

2) Space. The cell membrane has to manage everything that goes in and out of the cell. However, as the cell gets larger, the cell membrane can't effectively manage the stuff that's going in and out. Also, the materials that have to travel through the cell have to travel larger distances to get to specific organelles.

Answer 3

So they can grow and divide to make up all the cells, tissues, and organs that make up the human body. Also, cells will undergo mitosis to repair an area of the body in which tissue is damaged, such as a cut. Since the cut is an open wound, and the skin has been seperated, the cells that once made up the cells in the originally unbroken skin have been "killed", so to say. They're gone for good. But the body wants to repair this area and make the body whole again, so it produces new cells, which will become skin cells, and these cells grow and divide as necessary for the process of mitosis so that they can fill up the space and heal the cut.

Answer 4

Cells grow and reproduce to maintain the organism's function and replace damaged or dead cells. Growth allows organisms to increase in size, while reproduction ensures the survival of the species by producing new individuals. This process is essential for development, tissue repair, and overall survival of the organism.

Answer 5

Cells reproduce due to various reasons and some of them are to help repair damaged cells and promote continuous growth to the body

Answer 6

well, cells die because soon enough, they won't work.and cells need to reproduce because you need new ones.without cells, we would be a pile of dust because we're made of them.

Answer 7

so they can grow and divide
