,◼ Organisms need cell division to survive and
multiply
◼ The main goal of cell division is to make
more cells.
For example, most of the cells in the human

,Cell division
Reasons for Cell Division:
◼ Repair
◼ Growth
◼ Reproduction
, Cell division for Growth
◼ Plant and animal cells all need the same

and gases
◼ Many chemicals need to be in solution
(dissolved in water) so that they can be used
in chemical reactions within the cell
