Question

how does cell division benefit the human body? check all that apply. it allows the body to grow larger. it creates molecules for proper functioning. it replaces older cells. it creates energy to power cellular functions done

Explanation:

• For "It allows the body to grow larger": Cell division (mitosis) increases the number of cells, contributing to growth.
• For "It creates molecules for proper functioning": Cell division isn't directly about creating molecules (molecule synthesis is different), so this is incorrect.
• For "It replaces older cells": Mitosis replaces damaged/old cells (e.g., skin cells, blood cells).
• For "It creates energy to power cellular functions": Energy production (like cellular respiration) is not a function of cell division; cell division uses energy.

Answer:

• It allows the body to grow larger.
• It replaces older cells.
