Why do cells continue to divide in adult organisms?

Biology
2 answers:
Mariana [72]2 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.

Which statements accurately describe humidity? Check all that apply.
Scrat [10]

The correct answers are:

B. Warmer air promotes more evaporation.

D. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air.

E. Areas with a lot of surface water have higher humidity than drier areas.

The humidity can simply be described as the amount of water vapor in the air. The humidity can vary, and it can be very high in certain place for the whole year, very low at other places for the whole year, or to be changing seasonally.

The areas that have a lot of surface water (the Amazon River Basin) tend to have higher humidity than the places that lack surface water (Sahara Desert). Also, the humidity depends a lot on the temperature of the air. The warmer the air is, the higher the humidity, and vice versa, the colder the air is, the lower the humidity.
