Specialization of cells & Stem Cells

Question 1

What are 4 functions Specialization cells

Answer 1

• Specialized cells are cells that can perform a specific function.
• Specialized cells have structural and functional differences that allows them to perform one job very well
• Specialized cells can look very different from each other and cell specialization involves change in form and function
• Plant and animal cells show specialization

Question 2

How do cells specialize

Answer 2

• The cell keeps dividing and start to changes in shape, contents and functions.
• ## Specialized cells have structural and functional differences that allows them to perform one job very well is called cellular differentiation

Question 3

What are stem cells

3 reason

Answer 3

• Stem cells are cells that don’t perform a specialization of a job
• Stem cells are undifferentiated. ( they havent decided on what kind of cell they want to be
• Stem cells can become any ell type depending on which parts of the DNA are turned on.

Question 4

The three types of Stem cells

Answer 4

• Embryonic Stem Cells (from the embryo early stages of cell division and can differentiated into any type of cell)
• Tissue (or Adult or Somatic) Stem Cells ( found in parts of the body like: bone marrow, umbilical cell that can only differentiated into certain cells mostly blood cells)
• Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPS) (Adult cell that can be reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells)

Question 5

What is
