Cells die every second in the body. Over a million cells are made every minute in your body. This is how you heal and grow. The cells naturally renew themselves after a certain period of time and are expelled out of the body.

Why might cells begin to die at a faster rate than new cells are made?

Lack of nutrients and an increase in cellular waste products


If exactly 1000000 old cells die each second how many die each minute each hour each day each week?

60,000,000 cells die each second. 3,600,000,000 cells die die each hour.


What would happen if plant cells had no chlorophyll?

The cells would be unable to photosynthesise, and no glucose would be made. Therefore the plant would not be able to sustain itself and would simply die.


Why do skin cells divide more often than other cells?

1st of all red blood cells don't reproduce. They are not true cells because they dont contain a nucleus thus do not contian the genetic material needed for reproduction thus do not go through the cell cycle. They are just convex shaped carriers of hemoglobin(which in turn carry oxygen). They only live for about 40 days and new ones are made by cells in your bone marrow. Skin cells are real/normal cells. Skin cells divide/replicate more than normal cells because they are exposed to rough conditions( UV light, dehydration, overhydration,scarring and brusing) so many are killed that out body has to make new ones to replace old ones at a fast rate.


What is the process of which viable cells replace dead cells of the same type?

Yes, it can. It happens in the process of cell division. First the nucleus divides then each nucleus move to each end of the cell. Eventually the nucleus divides into two so it replaces the dead ones. Yes, it can. It happens in the process of cell division.
