Which statement best explains why cells in organisms such as animals reproduce

Missing options

1) cell division helps animals repair old cells.

2) cell division produces glucose which is used as food.

3) reproduction breaks down glucose into useful energy.

4) reproduction releases energy necessary for animals to survive.

1) cell division helps animals repair old cells.

Explanation:

Cell division is a process in living organisms in which a parent cell is divided into daughter cells my duplicating its cell material (e.g DNA and machinary). In living organisms, the main purpose of cell division is growth and development which takes place via mitosis. Therefore, in the given statements, only 1st statement is correct.

Although, cell division via miosis helps in reproduction but reproduction doesn't break down glucose (3) and produce energy (4). Also, cell devision does not produce glucose rather breaking down of food and chain of reactions in the mitochondria produce the energy.

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
