Potency
Stem cells that are capable of generating a whole embryo (including the placenta). In humans, exist before blastocyst stage.
This is the outer layer of cells in the embryo and it will develop into skin, nervous system, sensory organs, and other structures.
What is the ectoderm?
All stem cells have the ability to do these two things.
What are differentiate and self-renew?
The process by which cells in plants and animals break down food and turn it into energy.
Stem cells that give rise to several different types of specialized cells, but are restricted to a certain organ or tissue types. Ex: blood stem cells
This is the inner layer of cells in the embryo and it will develop into lungs, digestive organs, liver, pancreas, and other organs.
The type of stem cell that is derived from very early in development, usually from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. They are pluripotent.
What are embryonic stem cells?
This scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is.
Stem cells that can become all the cell types that are found in embryo, fetus, or developed organism, but not the placenta. Ex: Embryonic stem cells
This is the middle layer of cells in the embryo and it will develop into muscle, bone, kidneys, and other related structures.
Stem cells that are harvested from tissues in an adult body. These cells are usually multipotent, meaning they can differentiate into cells from some, but not all, of the three germ layers.
What are adult (somatic) stem cells?
These organelles produce all the energy that the cell needs. Convert chemical energy from food into energy that the cell can use.
Power Plants of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
