Answer: The correct answer is-  a cell from which a new cell that has a specialized function is formed.

Stem cells can be described as the undifferentiated cells ( with no specific function) in the body that develop into specific cell type ( such as muscle cell, neurons that have specialized function) through a process of differentiation.

They are found in adults ( in certain tissues like bone marrow, blood, and adipose tissue) as well in the developing embryo ( can be extracted from the inner cell mass).

They play significant role in the repair of damaged tissues ( as new cells with specific functions can be produced from them), also involved medical therapies ( for example transplantation of bone marrow) and other areas.

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. The n = 1 energy level has two electrons, and the n = 2 energy level has six electrons. Oxygen
natita [175]
<span>Valence is defined as number of electrons that are present in the outermost orbital. Oxygen is in the 16th column of the periodic table and the total number of valance electrons is determined by units place digit of the column position which is 6 for oxygen. The outermost orbital is the high energy level and there are two in that orbit. So the valance is +2.</span>

Epinephrine is a hormone that regulates cellular energy metabolism to break down glycogen into glucose. The signal transduction
docker41 [41]

Answer: The downstream components will be altered and ultimately affect production of glucose.

Explanation: Epinephrine is a hormone that belongs to a class of biomolecules called catecholamines. When it reaches the target cell it binds to a receptor that is connected to an enzyme called adenylate cyclase that converts ATP into cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate). cAMP plays an important role in the phosphorylation of proteins which alters their activity. In this case the activity of the enzyme that hydrolyses glycogen to glucose. When caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP it ultimately inhibits the action of the downstream components.
