Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into any kind of body cells like muscle, skin, heart etc.

There is alot of research being conducted on the stem cells because they have the potential to treat almost any kind of disease. This is because they are embryonic cells that can be specialized into a person's any type of body cells. When stem cells are specialized into the any kind of body's cells like cardiac, muscular, they can repair all the damaged cells and replace them with the new and healthy cells.

Currently, they are being used to repair:

  • Nerve cells that are damaged due to some injuries like stroke, spinal injury,  Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's and other such neurological disorders.
  • They can repair insulin producing cells so millions of people can be treated against diabetes and other problems that arise due to diabetes like kidney and cardiac issues.
  • They have the ability to repair almost any kind of injured tissue.
  • They can provide clues of muscle re-pairment like how organs are repaired after an injury, trauma or problem like heart attack.
  • Stems cells can be used to make new drugs and minimize the side effect of the drugs.
  • This is a fascinating area of science that has the potential to repair any damaged organ of human without getting it replaced by a new one.

Hope it help!

1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snall populations? Explain why the same method would not be useful for counti
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :D

(blank) is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another when the substances differ in temperature.
ladessa [460]

The thermal energy can be defined as the type of kinetic energy which is generated due to the motions of the particles. This motion generates a temperature which can be measured easily. The type of thermal energy which flows from one substance to another when the temperature of the two substances is different is known as heat.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'heat'.
