Question 5 • Biology_A_IC

Which function of the cell cycle is especially important to burn victims?

Answer
g
growth of existing cells
r
repair of existing cells
p
protection of new cells
r
reproduction of new cells

Explanation

Burns damage or destroy skin cells, so healing requires the body to produce new cells to replace them. The cell cycle enables cells to divide and make more cells; therefore, reproduction of new cells is especially important for burn victims. Repairing existing cells alone would not replace cells that have been destroyed.
