The statement above is false. The blood levels of calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone.When one is not getting adequate calcium in one's diet and the blood level of calcium is low, the parathyroid hormone will be released. The parathyroid hormone can increase the blood calcium in several ways:
1. by stimulating osteoclasts which break down bone and release calcium into the blood stream.
2. by increasing the amount of calcium re-absorbed by the kidney before it can be excreted in urine.
3. by triggering the formation of calcitriol which increases the absorption of dietary calcium at the  intestines.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Cellular division causes organisms to grow primarily by increasing "the number of cells in an organism."

Explanation:

The parent cell is also making a copy of its DNA to share equally between the two daughter cells. The mitosis division process has several steps or phases of the cell cycle—interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis—to successfully make the new diploid cells. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
