Biotechnology Part 2

Regenerative medicine relies heavily on the use of:

• organs harvested from animals

• stem cells

• clones.

• transgenic organisms

The first step to building a new organ using regenerative medicine is to build a:

• platform.

• foundation.

• scaffold.

• basement.

What are the different types of stem cells?

• Nerve cells, muscle cells, and skin cells

• Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

• Embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells

• Liver cells, kidney cells, and lung cells

Differentiate between adult and embryonic stem cells.

• Adult stem cells are derived from embryos and have the potential to differentiate into any type of cell in the body.

• Embryonic stem cells are found in specific tissues in the body and can only differentiate into certain cell types.

• Adult stem cells are not found in specific tissues in the body and can differentiate into any type of cell in the body.

• Adult stem cells are found in specific tissues in the body and can only differentiate into certain cell types, while embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos and have the potential to differentiate into any type of cell in the body.

How are stem cells used in regenerative medicine?

• To repair or replace damaged tissues and organs

• To create artificial intelligence

• To be used as a food supplement

• To produce energy for the body

Discuss the ethical concerns related to the use of embryonic stem cells.

• The ethical concerns related to the use of embryonic stem cells are exaggerated and not based on scientific evidence.

• The ethical concerns related to the use of embryonic stem cells include the destruction of human embryos, potential misuse of the technology, and the lack of clear regulations.

• The potential benefits of using embryonic stem cells outweigh any ethical concerns, so they should be used without restrictions.

• There are no ethical concerns related to the use of embryonic stem cells as they are just cells and not human beings.

What does it mean for Stem Cells to be undifferentiated?

• They are specific types of cells.

• They don't have a specific job yet.

• They don't matter.

Stem cells are ____________________.

• cells that grow uncontrollably

• undifferentiated cells that can turn into other types of cells

• the first cells of a new living organism (fertilized egg)

• specialized cells that do one job

What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

• Embryonic can differentiate into more cell types than adult
• Adult only turn into blood, while embryonic turn into many things.
• Adult can differentiate into more cell types than embryonic
• Adult grow bigger than embryonic
