Why is the use of embryonic stem cells controversial?

Biology

Brrunno [24]3 years ago
8 0
Stem cell therapies are not new. Doctors have been performing bone marrow stem cell transplants for decades. But when scientists learned how to remove stem cells from human embryos in 1998, both excitement and controversy ensued.

The excitement was due to the huge potential these cells have in curing human disease. The controversy centered on the moral implications of destroying human embryos. Political leaders began to debate over how to regulate and fund research involving human embryonic stem (hES) cells.

Newer breakthroughs may bring this debate to an end. In 2006 scientists learned how to stimulate a patient's own cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. These cells are reducing the need for human embryos in research and opening up exciting new possibilities for stem cell therapies.

Over time weeds have become resistant to pesticides. Which process explains how pesticide resistance developed? A. natural selec
Mice21 [21]
A. Natural Selection.  This is because the weeds that are not resistant to it die out before they can reproduce, but the resistant ones grow to maturity and then reproduce, passing down the resistance gene.  Over time, the resistance gene would become a normal thing in weeds, while the non-resistant gene would not exist anyone, since the gene could not be passed on.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer;

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants traps energy from the sun for photosynthesis.

Explanation;

-Green plants requires food for their day to day activities, thus they use the process of photosynthesis to make their own food, which they use to generate energy or store for the future use in form of starch.

-Chlorophyll a pigment that gives plants their green color is vital during the process of photosynthesis. During the first phase of photosynthesis light dependent stage), chlorophyll traps sunlight which is used to split up water molecules to oxygen atoms and hydrogen ions, a process called photolysis.

Although it is not the primary flux-control point for glycolysis, pyruvate kinase is subject to allosteric regulation. What is t
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase is the important enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenol pyruvate into the pyruvate in the glycolysis cycle. This step generates the ATP molecule.

The regulation of the pyruvate kinase is done by the allosteric regulation and   fructose 1,6 biphosphate activates the pyruvate kinase. This regulation is important as it control the metabolites present in different organs. The metabolites like fructose, galactose enters in the glycolysis from the liver after the particlar step of glycolysis.
