1. What kind of cell did you make and what are three distinguishing characteristics that made your cell
different from other types of cells.
1a. I made a Plant Cell. Cell wall is one, Chloroplast is another and lastly the large vacuole. All of these represent the three distinguishing characteristics that made my cell different from the animal cell. The function of the cell wall is a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants. The function of the chloroplast is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. Lastly the large vacuole is the storage area for water and other substances.
2.All cells have three major jobs that are needed in order to sustain homeostasis. What are these three basic functions?
2a. The three basic functions are Transport of Molecules, Conversion of Energy and lastly Reproduction.
3. What is a Stem Cell and where do stem cells come from?
3a. A Stem Cell is a cell that has genetic information in the plant tissue.
4. What are some potential uses of Stem Cells?
4a. Stem Cells are directed to differentiate into specific cell types. The tissues treat burns, diabetes, and degeneration.
