In what three ways does cell division solve the problem of cell growth?

Answer 1

When the cells grows , or increases in size, it might reach, say, double (x2) it's original size, the cell then divides in half (x.5) and returns to it's original size. To show this mathematically.... e.g. original size = 10 units original size x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20 the cell divides so, 20 x .5 = 10 back to the original size, the 2 cells then grow and when they become double the size they divide leaving 4 cells, they grow and so on...

Answer 2

Think of it like Play-Doh.When you take a large lump, split it in two, and again, and again, you have eight "cells", except since cells don't shrink when they multiply, but grow another one, you will then go from one cell, to eight cells of the same size.

Answer 3

when the cells increases: these are examples

When the cells grows , or increases in size, it might reach, say, double (x2) it's original size, the cell then divides in half (x.5) and returns to it's original size. To show this mathematically....

e.g.

original size = 10 units

original size x 2

= 10 x 2

= 20

the cell divides so,

20 x .5

= 10

back to the original size, the 2 cells then grow and when they become double the size they divide leaving 4 cells, they grow and so on...

When it decreases:

the cell divides and it replace, and add new cells from the old cells to create a new and a healthy cell and to prevent cell loss..............''<.....>''

Answer 4

Cell division allows the cell to maintain a favorable surface area-to-volume ratio by producing daughter cells with the same genetic material. It also ensures genetic stability by accurately copying and distributing the genetic material to the daughter cells. Finally, cell division helps in repairing damaged tissues and replacing old or dying cells.

Answer 5

Cell division has three ways it prevents problems in cell growth. The three ways are as follows: when cells increase, when cells decrease, and preventing cell loss.

Answer 6

When a cell becomes to large it begins to pull apart so that it can reproduce. It goes through many phases: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.

Answer 7

They stop producing protein.
