Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following describe a stem cell? Check all that apply. a cell that is able to develop into a variety of specialized cells a cell that is able to self-renew from differentiated cells a specialized cell that results in differentiation a specialized cell that results in self-renewal a cell that divides by meiosis to produce new cells "

Answer:

  • a cell that is able to develop into a variety of specialized cells
  • a specialized cell that results in differentiation

Explanation:

Stem cells are very special cells. They appear in the human being, still in the embryonic phase, before birth. After birth, some organs still hold within themselves a small portion of stem cells, which are responsible for the constant renewal of this particular organ. These cells have some distinct characteristics:

  • they can reproduce themselves by duplicating themselves, generating two cells with equal characteristics; furthermore it is a cell that is capable of transforming itself into a variety of specialized cells
  • they can differentiate, that is, transform themselves into several other cells of their respective tissues and organs.

An example is the hematopoietic stem cell, which in adults is located in the red bone marrow. In the bone marrow, it is responsible for the generation of all blood.

This is the cell that is effectively replaced when a bone marrow transplant is performed.

1. Enzyme is the molecule that serves to make reactions work. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that catalyses chemical reactions in a cell by acting on substrates and convert them to products. Their rate of action increases with increase in substrate concentration, reaching optimum when all active sites of the enzyme are engaged.

2. Plastid are the tiny sacs in the cell that may contain starch. Plastid are major cell organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are site for the manufacture and storage of important  chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine cells color.

3. Lysosome are packets within the cell that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are one of many organelles found in animal cells. they are tiny like sacs filled with enzymes that enables the cell to process nutrients. They contain digestive enzymes which helps in the digestion of worn out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

4. Mitochondrion is a structure within a cell that is responsible for production of energy. Energy in a cell is produced through a process of cellular respiration which involves use of nutrients with oxygen gas to yield energy inform of ATP, water and carbon dioxide. The process takes place in the mitochondrion where oxygen acts as proton acceptor in the electron transport chain coupled by production of energy.

5. An Organelle is a small structure that serves specialized functions. A cell is made up of various organelles that help it perform its functions. Each organelle is specialized to perform as specific function different from other organelles, for example ribosomes is an organelle involved in the manufacture of proteins.

6. Golgi apparatus are group of flattened sacs that package and export materials out of the cell. Golgi apparatus also called golgi complex or golgi body, is a membrane bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that is made up by a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. They are responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles.

7. Vesicles are tiny sacs connected to the Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Vesicles are small structures within a cell, or extracellular, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bi-layer. they form naturally during the process of secretion (exocytosis), uptake (endocytosis) and transport of materials within the cytoplasm.
