Midterm Exam Part Two Flashcards
Adult Stem Cell Therapy
No risks of rejection
No human embryos necessary
Developmental Potential
Successful Treatments
Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy
Risk of rejection by immune system
Human embryos are destroyed
Unlimited development potential
No successful treatment
Therapeutic Cloning
DNA from a donor egg is removed and the enucleated donor egg is fused with a DNA cell
Reproductive Cloning
Copying an entire organism
Embryo is destroyed when
Inner cell mass is removed
Embryo is developed when
The embryo is implanted into a surrogate mother
Genetically reprogrammed cells are called
Induced pluripotent stem cells
Adult stems cells are classified as
Multipotent, but through evidence some are pluripotent
Embryonic stem cells are classified as
Pluripotent
Anything past the blastocyst stage is considered
An adult stem cell
Insulin
A hormone that regulates the level of glucose in the bloodstream
Stem cells are used to
Generate new cells in replace of damaged or lost cells
Stages of reproduction
Zygote, 2, 4, 8, Solid ball, Blastocyst (hallow ball), remove inner cell mass, embryonic stem cells
What happens when inner cell mass is removed and grows into dish related nutrients
Embryonic stem cells are established
Stem cell examples are
Blood, heart, skin, bones, or muscles
What is a stem cell
Unspecialized or generic type of animal cell
What can stem cells do?
Branch off into different types of specialized cells
Division of labor
Increases the efficiency of large cells
What is the nucleus
The control center that stores genetic information for proper cell function
Nuclear membrane
Connects the nucleus to the endoplasmic reticulum and to the plasma membrane
Ribosome
Protein synthesis carried out
Golgi body
Lipids and proteins
Lysosomes
Important organelles that bud of the Golgi body
Vacuoles
Storage food, water, and waste
Mitochondria
Provide the cell with energy in the form of atp
Chloroplast
Pigment chlorophyll that conducts photosynthesis
