Why do cells multiply?
Answers
Explanation:
Cells multiply in order for the organism to grow, develop, repair and for the organism to produce offspring. What limits the size of a cell and forces it to divide rather than keep getting larger is the ratio of surface area to volume of the cell.

Answer:
All cells work better in groups. This is obvious for multicellular organisms like us where we have several highly specialized tissues that support each other. But, this is even true of unicellular organisms, such as bacteria. The discovery of “quorum sensing” has shown us that there has been a secret life of cooperation going on the whole time. Even further some possess the ability to form spores and biofilms that rely on more obvious cell specialization that allow for the survival of a population.
Even without specialization, living in numbers is quite advantageous. If there are more cells in an area, it reduces the likelihood of any one cell of dying. Considering that many bacteria exude toxins, increasing the number of cells increases the area that the population controls. The larger the area, the more nutrients the population can obtain.
