Why do cells continue to divide in adult organisms?

Biology
2 answers:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Although most of the tissues in adult organisms maintain a constant size, the cells that make up these tissues are constantly turning over. Therefore, in order for a particular tissue to stay the same size, its rates of cell death and cell division must remain in balance.

Explanation:

There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger: The larger a cell becomes the more demands the cell places on its DNA. If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. Why does cell division remain important to an adult organism even after it is fully developed? It remains important because cells are renewed and wounds are healed in the process. When cells stop dividing to specialize in structure and function. When cells undergo programmed cell death.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state

Along with insulin, amylin is a hormone that a diabetic pancreas fails to produce. It is comprised of a long chain of amino acid
diamong [38]

Options:

A prostaglandin

B protein hormone

C. peptide hormone

D. steroid hormone

Answer:

Amylin is peptidal harmone. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is hormone?</h3>

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body. They make their way through your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They have a long-term effect on a variety of processes, including growth and development.

Amylin is a peptide hormone produced in tandem with insulin by the pancreatic -cell and is hence lacking in diabetics. It works as a satiety agent by inhibiting glucagon secretion and delaying stomach emptying. As a result, amylin replacement could potentially improve glycemic control in some diabetics.

Amylin is a 37-amino-acid peptide hormone released by pancreatic beta-cells in response to a food stimulation together with insulin. It is inadequate in Type 1 diabetes patients and increased in Type 2 diabetes patients in the early stages, a disease marked by hyperinsulinemia.

A hypertonic solution has:
BaLLatris [955]

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
  1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
  2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
  3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
  4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
