What cause's cell division

Biology
2 answers:
Aleks [24]2 years ago

Cells divide for many reasons. For example, when you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. ... When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.

Answer:

Explanation:

Cells in an organism go through division all the time. One reason is for growth. As an organism grows, more cells are created. Cells divide instead of grow because there is an optimal size for cell. So it is more efficient to create new cells.

Second reason for cell division is to repair damaged cells. Some cells like skin cells are damaged routinely and cell division is the way to repair and replace damaged cells.

Last reason is for reproduction. All organisms use cell division to reproduce.

Mr. Malone is going into a shock because of blood loss, so paramedics infuse a saline solution. Why would this help?
fredd [130]
Saline solutions have the same or close to the same amount of salt as our blood does, so we get the amount of salt needed for our bodies. During blood loss, you lose the salt you need, so they're basically adding it back in with the saline solution, making your electrolyte balance go back to normal level. It also gives us the right amount of water to keep us hydrated.
