Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -> Cell proliferation: This is cell multiplication due to cell division. > Cell enlargement: In this, the cell does not divide. There is an increase in the size of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell proliferation is the process by which a cell grows and divides to produce two daughter cells. Cell proliferation leads to an exponential increase in cell number and is therefore a rapid mechanism of tissue growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is “Cell Growth?” Cell growth is the process by which cells accumulate mass and increase in physical size. On average, animal cells are ≈10 to 20 m in diameter with a wide range of sizes, spanning from tiny red blood cells (≈5 m in diameter) to motor neurons, which can grow 100’s of micrometers in length (1).
