1. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent because they can grow into any type of body cell, but they cannot become totipotent.
Totipotent cells can form all the cell types in a body, plus the extraembryonic, or placental, cells. Embryonic cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization are the only cells that are totipotent. Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent.

2. All muscle cells working together to produce working muscle tissue is an example of which theme of biology?
Structure and function

3. Based on the graph what can be concluded about stem cell banking?
The amount of stem cells being banked has increased over the past 25 years

4. Banking stem cells is a very popular practice in science. This is when stem cells, located in the umbilical cord of a birthed infant, are saved and frozen. Why could this be a beneficial practice?
Stem cells are undifferentiated and therefore, could be used to grow into any kind of cell of the body

5. Blood cells are different than nerve cells in how they look and what they do. Why is this, since both of these kinds of cells are found in humans?
The cells have differentiated to perform different tasks within the organism

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together?

qwelly [4]

The respiratory system brings air into the lungs supplying the blood with oxygen. Oxygen is carried throughout the body to the organs and keeps the heart pumping and when the blood circulates back to the lungs the process starts over again.

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?

faust18 [17]

Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
