Research with embryonic stem cells has become the great hope of doctors and scientists worldwide. However, because they deal with embryos, they have also become the subject of controversy.

The discovery that human embryonic stem cells can be isolated and propagated in the laboratory, with the potential to develop in all tissues of the body is an important advance in medicine. But it has raised ethical concerns. Scientists now know that stem cells are also present in adults. If there was a way to stimulate resident stem cells to replace cells that are dying, the limitations of transplantation could be overcome, as well as ethical problems.

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to divide indeterminate periods into culture and give rise to several types of specialized cells. They can become blood, bone, brain, muscle, skin, and other organs. Embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to form any adult cell.

As examples of ethical problems, the following questions can be cited:

  • Is it appropriate to use embryos produced for reproductive and unused uses, whose legal time limits have been exceeded, to generate embryonic stem cells?
  • Is it acceptable to produce non-reproductive human embryos only to produce stem cells?
  • Is it fair to create a climate of expectation for patients and patients' families about the possibility of therapeutic use of cells that have not even been tested in basic experiments?

Although it is a polemic subject and it needs to be studied very much, it is not right to see the stem cells as evil and immoral. Stem cell research seeks to develop a technology that can end the suffering of thousands of people around the world, so we must encourage this type of research and try to establish arguments that can answer the ethical questions about this subject.

Diffusion, Osmosis and Enzymes
Nana76 [90]

The given statements can be matched as following:

a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  - Osmosis

b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions - Enzymes

c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream -Simple Diffusion

d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions -Enzymes

e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process- Simple Diffusion

Explanation:

a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.

b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.

d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.

e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.

How the chlorophyll helps the reacrion a happen?​
USPshnik [31]
Both photosystems contain many pigments that help collect light energy, as well as a special pair of chlorophyll molecules in the heart (reaction center) of the photosystem. The special pair of photosystem I is called P700, while that of photosystem II is called P680.
