You need so many cells, billions and billions, because as a human you are an extremely complex organism. If you think about all the different organs in your body, such as your brain, heart, liver, intestines, stomach, pancreas, etc..., you see that there are many different types of cells needed to compose these things.

Also, since cells are microscopic and can't just keep growing forever, if they did we would have a DNA overload, as we grow we must add new cells to our body.

Does the human body have more bacterial or human cells?

it has more human cells actually the human body has more bacterial cells. Although it may seem more likely that the human body would have more human cells than bacterial cells. -Vasillisa


Can human cells live independently outside the body?

There are many uni-cellular organisms which are single celled and survive independently without depending on other cells. If your question is Can a Human cell survive out of Human body? Yes, the human cells can survive out of human body if all the nutrition and the other factors which keep the cell to function are provided to the cell. multi-cellular organisms are made up of tissues of different kinds and organs which are inter-dependent for nutrition and survival. So if the cells are removed from human body, it will survive till the nutrition gets exhausted. There are many scientific methods by which the nutrition and other required substances are provided to the cells which are taken from human body and stored for long periods. The cells are also made to multiply outside the body and it is known as cell-culture or tissue culture.

No. The cells must undergo mitosis and multiply themselves in order for any organism to grow. The size of the cell does not change. Only the quantity of them do.
