Why don't cells just stretch when you grow, instead of making copies of themselves?

• The muscles in the cells can't stretch that far.
• The cell won't be able to bring in food fast enough or get waste out fast enough.
• The cell membrane doesn't like the feeling of stretching.
• The lysosomes don't want to work so hard.
