Because some cells in the body are subjected to a hostile environment and may die. Skin cells are one example of this, and they require rapid reproduction. Brain cells enjoy a relatively calm environment and hardly divide at all.

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.

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

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 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.


Do all cells grow and divide at the same time?

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.
