Answer:
Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells
Explanation:
Totipotent (or Omnipotent) Stem Cells.
Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Multipotent Stem Cells.
Oligopotent Stem Cells.
Unipotent Stem Cells.
<h2>Dinoflagellates thrive in bahia fosforescente</h2>
Explanation:
- Dinoflagellate, are one-celled aquatic organisms having two dissimilar flagella.
- It has a characteristics of both plants and animals.
- Most of the dinoflagellates are marine, but some live in freshwater habitats.
- Bahia fosforescente is one of the phosphorescent bays where millions of glowing marine dwellers such as dinoflagellates cause the lake to glow a bright blue in night.
- Dinoflagellates has the characteristics of Bioluminescence which they use it as a defense mechanism.
- During night, due to the bioluminescence of dinoflagellates,water can have an appearance of sparkling light.
- Dinoflagellates takes their nutrients from marine organisms, thus they grow or develop well in bahia fosforescente.
Answer: The most affected would be organs that have QUICKLY dividing cells (like the intestine and hair follicles).
Explanation:
Cancer cells are cells that divides uncontrollably giving rise to a mass of tissue called tumour. They grow faster than a normal cell in an uncoordinated manner, and continues to grow after the initial stimulus has ceased.
Paclitaxel is a drug that is approved for the treatment of cancer affecting different parts of the body. It's a microtubule-stabilizing drug whose mechanism of action is to induce mitotic arrest in the cancer cells.
Paclitaxel in its cause of action not only affect cancer cells but normal cells as well. To justify this statement, as stated earlier, the mechanism of action of paclitaxel is to induce mitotic arrest. Therefore the cells of organs where rapid mitosis occurs would be most affected. Skin cells, hair follicles and the cells lining our intestines (epithelial cells) all have high rates of mitosis as these tissues constantly need to be replaced.
