Cells

Question 1

Extracellular Space

Answer 1

space between cells

Question 2

Extracellular fluid (in the extracellular space)

Answer 2

mostly water

Question 3

Extracellular matrix (in the extracellular space)

Answer 3

solid or gel-like materials (lots of collagen) that hold body together

Question 4

Prokaryotes

Answer 4

single-celled organisms, lack nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Question 5

Eukaryotes

Answer 5

single celled or multi-celled, contain nucleus and organelles
(all human cells are eukaryotic)

Question 6

Cell Differentiation

Answer 6

a cell “growing up” and “deciding” what it wants to be; a complex process; are cells that are “all grown up”

Question 7

Most cells are derived from?

Answer 7

Zygote- formed when a mother’s egg meets a father’s sperm

Question 8

Cells that undergo self-renewal; divide into two cells: one goes on to “grow up” and the other remains a stem cell

Answer 8

stem cells

Question 9

Grow up to become anything; only truly exist in zygotes/very early in development

Answer 9

Totipotent stem cells

Question 10

grow up to become several things, but not all things; there are many pluripotent cells in a full grown body

Answer 10

Pluripotent cells

Question 11

no longer stem cells- they do not self renew (although some still divide), but can still become many different things when they grow up

Answer 11

progenitor cells
