Why do stomach cells function differently than skin cells?

They use different genes in the DNA

They contain entirely different DNA

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

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells

Adult stem cells are pluripotent, just like embryonic stem cells

Adult stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than embryonic stem cells

Adult stem cells grow bigger than embryonic stem cells

What is the primary role of cellular differentiation in multicellular organisms?

To enable cells to perform specialized functions

Which of the following best describes cellular differentiation?

The process by which cells become specialized

The process by which cells divide

The process by which cells move

During cellular differentiation, what happens to the genes in a cell?

Only genes necessary for the cell's function are expressed

What is a stem cell's role in cellular differentiation?

To differentiate into specialized cells

How does cellular differentiation contribute to the development of an embryo?

By forming various specialized cells needed for different tissues and organs

By creating a single type of cell

By eliminating unnecessary cells

By increasing the size of the embryo

Which experiment would best demonstrate the process of cellular differentiation?

Tracking gene expression in developing embryos

Observing cell division in bacteria

Measuring cell size in different tissues

Counting the number of cells in a tissue

Why do liver cells and skin cells have different functions despite having the same DNA?

They express different sets of genes

They are located in different parts of the body

They have different numbers of chromosomes

What is the significance of cellular differentiation in tissue repair?

It allows for the formation of specialized cells needed for repair

It reduces the need for nutrients

Which of the following is a real-world application of understanding cellular differentiation?

Creating specialized cells for regenerative medicine

Designing new computer algorithms

Improving solar panel efficiency

What is the difference between totipotent and pluripotent stem cells in terms of differentiation?

Totipotent cells can differentiate into any cell type, while pluripotent cells can only become certain cell types

Pluripotent cells can differentiate into any cell type, while totipotent cells can only become certain cell types

Both can differentiate into any cell type

Neither can differentiate into any cell type

How does cellular differentiation affect the aging process?

It slows aging by maintaining specialized cell functions

It accelerates aging by causing cell death

It reverses aging by regenerating cells

Why are your muscle cells different from your nerve cells?

muscle and nerve cells have different DNA, different genes

muscle and nerve cells have the same DNA (same genes) but different genes are turned on

muscle and nerve cells began with the same DNA (same genes) but some different genes were destroyed by each cell type

muscle cells are not different from nerve cells, they are the same

What is the purpose of some organisms having different specialized cell types each doing particular jobs?

if all the cells were the same they would fight each other

it is impossible for a single cell to do everything needed to keep it alive

in multicellular organisms specialized cells work together to perform life functions

this is not true - all cells are the same and do the same jobs
