Question

Please explain how living things continue to grow as long as they alive.

Answer 1

Living things continue to grow as long as they are alive  due to cell division.

Explanation:

• The cells of the living things continuously grow. The somatic cells grow by the process of mitosis whereas the sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.

• Living things hence grow continuously by cell division.

• The older cells are replaced by new cells by division process.

• The division of the cells of living things allow a living thing to grow.
