Cell Functions

Question 2 • Anatomy & Physiology A

What effect does cell growth and function have on the body? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A body grows larger because its cells are dividing slower than old cells are dying.
B
A body grows larger because its cells are dividing faster than old cells are dying.
C
If the body is unhealthy, it is because some of its cells are functioning improperly.
D
If the body is healthy, it is because some of its cells are functioning improperly.

Explanation

A body grows larger when new cells are produced faster than old cells die, so cell division must outpace cell death. That makes B correct; A describes a net loss of cells. The body’s health also depends on its cells functioning properly, so improperly functioning cells can make the body unhealthy, as stated in C. D reverses that relationship.
