Hello there :). Here is why cells divide instead of growing larger:

The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. In time, the cell's DNA would no longer be able to serve the increasing needs of the growing cell.

Hello llockard,

The answer is petroleum... It is because trees, water, plants, natural gas can take only 2 - 31 years to be made again... BUT, in case of petroleum, it takes nearly 100000 years, which is impossible for any human to live that much years... So, use petroleum carefully....

___________, a hunger-stimulating hormone, is secreted by specialized cells in the stomach.

Inga [223]

Ghrelin is a hunger-stimulating hormone which is secreted by specialized cells in the stomach.

Ghrelin is a hormone made in the intestine. It is often called the "hunger hormone" and is sometimes called lenomorelin.

It reaches the brain through the bloodstream and tells the brain to feel hungry and start looking for food.

It's main function is to increase appetite. Eat more food, take in more calories and store fat.

In addition, it affects the sleep-wake cycle, reward-seeking behavior, taste sensation, and carbohydrate metabolism.

This hormone is made in the stomach and is secreted when the stomach is empty. It enters the bloodstream and affects a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, helping regulate hormones and appetite. Lower levels make you feel fuller and easier to cut calories.
