Detailed explanation-1: -Growth results in increase in size due to the intake of food. The food consumed by a living organism, is absorbed by the body and is used to nourish the cells for growth. Therefore, this is a chemical change, which includes the formation of new substances during the process of growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The increase in size and changes in shape of a developing organism depend on the increase in the number and size of cells that make up the individual. Increase in cell number occurs by a precise cellular reproductive mechanism called mitosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -An organism’s growth is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Growth and division of cells in organisms occurs by mitosis and differentiation for specific cell types.
