Why do cells continue to divide in adult organisms?

Biology

Mariana [72]2 years ago

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.
