Read the following excerpt about stem cells. Then use your knowledge about gene regulation to make a claim as to why stem
cells function differently from differentiated cells
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in
many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person
or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of
cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration: -dot structures -arrow and line diagrams -written electron configurations type in your answer below. (answer) -dot structures do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals and take up a lot of space. -arrow and line diagrams take up a lot of space and make it difficult to count electrons. -written configurations make it easy to lose count of electrons and do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals.

Which best describes the activation energy of a chemical reaction? a. the combined energy of all the reactants b. the amount of energy required for a reaction to occur c. the difference in energy between products and reactants d. the potential energy stored in the bonds of reactants and products
