Stem cells are unspecialized cells. They are important because through division, they specialize to create special cells (i.e kidney cells)

To research stem cells, you need to destroy an embryo, which is a potential unique human, and it is morally incorrect to do so

It saves water for the cell
What does the central vacuole do?

Adult stem cells exist in some parts of our body to create specialized cells as needed. They are differentiable cells. An example would be bone marrow.
What is an adult stem cell and why does it exist in our body?
300
It is a muscular pump that supplies blood to all parts of the body.
What is the function of the heart?

Veins are going to the heart and carry deoxygenated blood to the right atrium, on the other hand arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body carrying oxygenated blood.
How are veins and arteries different?

The environment plays a role in impacting the rate of mitosis. Also, antibiotics can affect the rate of mitosis of a cell.
What are the factors that can affect mitosis?
400
We can enduce an embryo by putting the nucleus of a body cell (skin cell) into a female egg cell, creating an embryo, allowing stem cells to be harvested.
How is an embryo enduced for theraputic cloning?

An animal cell does not have a cell wall. Plant cells have a big vacuole. Animal cells have a small vacuole
List 3 differences between an animal cell & a plant cell

Prophase- Nuclear envelope breaks down and each chromosome is connected to a spindle fibre at its centromere. Metaphase- The chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell. Anaphase- Chromatids seperate into individual chromosomes and move to opposite poles. Telophase and cytokinesis- Mitotic spindle breaks down, and two nuclei form. The cytoplasm and the cell membrane form two new daughter cells.
Name the 4 stages of mitosis and what happens in each stage.

A perfect abundant specimen would be plants. This is because plants use meristematic tissue made from unspecialized cells to grow and repair themselves.
What is a good specimen to observe, research, and learn from about unspecialized cells?
500
The flower
What is the reproductive structure of the plant?

It takes place mainly in the small intestine so all the nutrition can be absorbed.
