Cells reproduce in a number of ways. These ways include asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. These ways are called mitosis, meiosis, and binary fission.

One of the structures that a cell uses to live grow and reproduce?

One of the structures that a cell uses for living, growing, and reproducing is the nucleus. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material, DNA, which provides instructions for cell functions such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The nucleus also regulates gene expression and controls the activities of the cell through the production of RNA and proteins.


Why are atoms not alive?

They do not contain cells. They depend on a host cell for energy. They can't reproduce without the help of a host cell.Viruses need a host cell to reproduce (they can't on their own).Because they don't grow,they don't have homeostasis, and they do not metabolize.Viruses are not alive, because they are not made out of cells. All living organisms are made out of cellsViruses are not alive because they lack at least one of the requirements for life. Viruses cannot reproduce without taking over a host cell and using its mechanisms for replication. True life forms use cell division during their reproductive methods.


The importance of controlled Cell division?

If they don't reproduce, you will, for example, bleed to death because of a scrape because your skin cells won't grow back and your body won't make more blood. In other words,so that it can repair damaged tissues.


What is the process of cells multiplying called?

reproduction of cellsA-Meiosis- in cells that reproduce sexually (e.g. sex cells in humans)Mitosis-Most cells reproduce this way, they split in the nucleus and produce two daughter cells that are identical to the parent.


Why do cells need to divide?

One of the major aspects of life is self replication, or reproduction. If cells didn't divide, then populations of organisms would not form, and evolution would be impossible. The more proximate cause is that as cells grow and ingest food, there is a limit to how big they can become before the cell wall no longer supports the cytoplasm. At or before this point, the cell must divide or it will lyse (split open) and die.
