Most cells do not continuously divide. These cells enter the G0 phase of the cell cycle after dividing and do not begin diving again until stimulated to do so. Growth factors, nutrients, etc. are required to make these start dividing again. When these cells are needed, the appropriate growth factors will be introduced, and then they will begin dividing again.

Some cells do continuously divide, such as epithelial (skin) cells.

The cells that keep on dividing, even though they are not supposed to, are cancer cells. They eat up all your nutrients and form tumors etc.

Why do all human cells divide at the same rate throughout life?

They don't. Some grow and divide all the time (skin cells) and some never do (nerve cells) and some only at times when needed.


Do all cells the same amount of time to divide?

No. Some cells are larger than others, therefor it will take a longer time for the cells to divide.


Do all the cells take the same amount of time to divide?

No. Some cells are larger than others, therefor it will take a longer time for the cells to divide.


Do multicellular organism cells divide in the same amount of time?

No, multicellular organism cells do not all divide at the same rate. The rate of cell division varies depending on the type of cell, its location in the body, and its specific function. Some cells may divide frequently, while others may divide rarely or not at all.

the cells which must help for a human's growth undergo it, in other words most do


Do all cells types divide at the same rate?

No, different cell types divide at different rates. For example, skin cells divide rapidly, while heart cells divide very slowly or not at all. The rate of cell division is determined by factors such as their function and location in the body.


Can you live without cell division?

No to cannot live without cell division because our cells need to divide to make us grow. Also we need cell division to survive because our cells only live for a limited amount of time, so if our cells don't divide then the cells will just die and we won't survive.


What is logarithmic growth in cells?

Logarithmic growth in cells is a phase where cell populations grow at a constant rate over time. During this phase, cells divide and proliferate exponentially. This phase is often characterized by a regular doubling of cell numbers over fixed time intervals.


When does the cell need to copy the DNA-?

DNA ultimately controls all the cell's functions, so it is necessary to have it in all your cells. Every time your cells divide so that you can grow or repair your body, the DNA needs to duplicate so that it can be in each of your cells.


How do animal cells make more cells?

They divide, it takes some long time.


What human cell undergo constant mitosis?

Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)


Why people grow old?

People grow when it is time for the cells to become mature and branch out into larger cells, but it depends on your body.
