Yes. When ingestion takes place, food molecules are digested in the alimentary canal. Proteins are broken down in polypeptide and then to amino acids in the duodenum of the small intestine. They are now small and soluble particles ready to be absorbed in the blood stream. Amino acids are then, again, linked together to form polypeptide and then proteins. Proteins are needed for growth when cell division takes place through the process of mitosis. ( and also meiosis in which sex cells are formed with haploid number of chromosomes. )
What else can I help you with?
Do adult skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Why are cells from a blastula ideal to examine mitosis?
Unlike most cells in an adult body, an embryonic mass of cells is always dividing. Most cells in the adult body is quiscent and will not divide unless signals have been given to them to divide, and many cells such as muscle and nerve cells have even lost the ability to divide.
Where are the stem cells that make new cells to protect the intestines in an adult?
In the adult intestines, the stem cells that generate new cells to protect the tissues are located in the intestinal crypts. These stem cells are found at the base of the crypts and continuously divide to produce new cells that migrate upwards to replace the older cells that line the intestinal surface.
What Most cells in the adult body are no longer capable of?
Most cells in the adult body are no longer capable of mitosis, meaning they cannot divide and replicate themselves. While certain cells, like skin and blood cells, can regenerate, many specialized cells, such as neurons and muscle cells, have limited or no ability to undergo cell division after maturity. This lack of regenerative capacity can contribute to the challenges of healing and tissue repair in adults.
What are three 7th grade reasons cells divide?
cells divide because of: -growth -development -repair
Do adult skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
What cells do not divide during mitosis?
Germ cells use a similar, but not identical, process to divide known as meiosis. Many adult cells do not divide at all under normal conditions, such as neurons and red blood cells.
Why the skin cells of an adult must divide?
Skin cells of an adult must divide to replace old or damaged cells, maintain skin integrity, and perform repair processes in response to injury or infection. This continuous cell turnover is essential for keeping the skin healthy and functioning properly.
What is a special feature for a stem cell?
Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.
Why are cells from a blastula ideal to examine mitosis?
Unlike most cells in an adult body, an embryonic mass of cells is always dividing. Most cells in the adult body is quiscent and will not divide unless signals have been given to them to divide, and many cells such as muscle and nerve cells have even lost the ability to divide.
What is an example of a type of cell that divides very often in an adult human?
Hair cells, skin cells, various blood cells, sperm precursors, various GI tract cells.
Why do the cells of an adult continue to divide after the adult has stopped growing?
So that the cells had to go to each part if th body and if the stop growing the cells are still going to divide because the body gets larger and the hieght stops Edited answer: To replace the dead cells and also to repair the organism from injuries
Where are the stem cells that make new cells to protect the intestines in an adult?
In the adult intestines, the stem cells that generate new cells to protect the tissues are located in the intestinal crypts. These stem cells are found at the base of the crypts and continuously divide to produce new cells that migrate upwards to replace the older cells that line the intestinal surface.
How does the structure and function of an adult somatic cell differ from that of an embryonic stem cell?
The structure and function of an adult somatic cell are specialized for carrying out specific tasks in the body, while embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. Adult somatic cells are more mature and have limited ability to divide and differentiate, whereas embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can divide indefinitely and differentiate into any cell type.
When we grow do our cells grow or divide?
Cells divide.
Do skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
What are types of cells in your body are no longer undergoing mitosis?
These are called permeant cells. Examples are adult neurons, striated muscles, cardiac muscle, RBCs and cells of lens in the eye.
