Answer:

We mean that a cell changes to another type of cell.

Explanation:

<em>Stem cells </em>are a type of cell that has the potential to become a specialized cell, this change or differentiation, is possible thanks to the activation or deactivation of certain genes that promote (or inhibit) the expression of certain proteins that origins different types of cells (fmuscle cells, osteocytes, neurons). This differentiation happens when the cells receive cues internally ( through signals or contact between a group of cells and another or through transcription factors) or externally.

Then, a differentiated cell is a cell that had gone under the previously described process.

Describe how each of Newton’s laws may be observable during a car trip.

aleksandrvk [35]

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.
