A. Tree leaves
Explain: because giraffes are herbivores their diet mainly consists of leaves and plants.
A transverse section cut is a cross section took by slicing, really or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body structure, in a horizontal plane, a plane that crosses the longitudinal axis at a right angle. In other words, it divides the body into superior and inferior parts which is also known as the top and bottom parts.
The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called stem cells.
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to undergo self-renewal and to give rise to all cells of the tissues of the body. However, this definition has been recently complicated by the existence of distinct cellular states that display these features.
There are two types of pluripotent stem cells :
- Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
- Induced pluripotent stem cells
Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos and can be indefinitely maintained and expanded in the pluripotent state in vitro. Pluripotent stem cells can also be obtained by inducing dedifferentiation of adult somatic cells through a recently developed in vitro technology, known as cell reprogramming.
Similarly to Embryonic stem cells , Induced pluripotent stem cells can be expanded indefinitely and they are capable to differentiate in all the derivatives of the three germ layers.
Another intriguing features of being pluripotent is its reliance on gene expression heterogeneity.

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock that has been subjected to very high temperature and pressure.
When one of the earth's plates comes in contact with another either by both traveling opposite directions, straight into each other, or from one slipping under the other (subduction zone), the pressure/friction of the plates against each other melts the rocks and after they cool they are metamorphic. Example is in Washington state when the Juan de fuca plate is going under the North American plate the pressure/friction of this melts the rocks which then form metmorphic rock.
