What is the cell cycle?

• The process by which cells die and are eliminated from the body.

Cell differentiation is critical during embryonic development. The process of cell differentiation results in the production of many different kinds of specialized cells. This process is most directly influenced by

• DNA

• Lipids

• Carbohydrates

• ATP

What is the role of stem cells in cell differentiation?

• They serve as a precursor for generalized cells

• These cells can turn into specialized cells and back into generalized cells when needed

• They are generalized cells that can lead to specialized cells

• They are specialized cells that can lead to generalized cells
