Why do cells don't just continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger. why do cells divide

Biology

mart [117]2 years ago

Because an organism needs even more cells to help it function better and change as it grows (like metamorphosis and yes, puberty :p) and if the same amount of cells stay then the organism's cells will be functioning and working harder.....so cells divide so many different ones can continue to work on different parts of the organism as it grows and changes. Plus it'd be weird if we only had like 1 thousand cells in our body from mothers' pregnancy the size of hi-polymer erasers (the big ones)..........

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Slide A, plant cells; Slide B, animal cells

Explanation:

The slide A has some organelles that are unique to plant cells, and are mostly found in plant cells. Organelles such as a cell wall and chloroplasts are unique features of plant cells. They are normally absent in animal cells.

Therefore, slide A, which has these cell organelles can be rightly labelled as "plant cells", while side B, which has these organelles missing, can be labelled as "animal cells".
