Adult stem cells are rare. Their primary functions are to maintain the steady state functioning of a cell—called homeostasis—and, with limitations, to replace cells that die because of injury or disease

Answer:

Adult stem cells are that present throughout the body of an individual that divide to restore or fill the place of dying cells or the cells that are damaged are regenerated by these cells.

They are present in adults and as well as in the children known as somatic cells. The major role of these stem cells to maintain the continuity of the cell functioning and replace the dead or regenerate the damaged cell by injury or the disease.

Thus, the correct answer is - replace or regenerate the dead or injured cells respectively.

folds

anticlines

synclines

Explanation:

The image showing the Monument Valley in Utah attached to this problem shows a folded terrain dotted by series of synclines and anticlines.

A fold is a product of ductile deformation of a rock.
In the formation of a fold, compressive forces acts towards each other and causes the buckling of a rock mass.
This leads to the formation of series of synclines and anticlines.
The synclines are the bowl shaped basins that sags downward.
The anticilnes are the upward arching structures that looks likes a dome.

Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).
