How many of you acually know what stem cell research really is?

Hi i am a 10th grade student and I am doing a project to see how many of you really know what stem cell research is. I will be asking a few questions and i want to tell me what you know no doing any research or anything. This will be very helpful for me. Later tonight i will be postnig the answers to come back and see how you did. Thanks.



A. What are human embryonic stem cells?

B. From where do human embryonic stem cells originate?

C. What is the difference between a blastocyst and a fetus?

D. Where in the body is the blastocyst located?

E. Do you know of other sources for stem cells? Elaborate

F. What are advantages to using adult stem cells?

G. What are the advantages to using adult stem cells?

H. What are the disadvantages to using embryonic stem cells?

I. What are the disadvantages to using adult stem cells?

J. What are their possible uses in medicine?



K. Do you feel that federal funding should be allocated toward human embryonic stem cell research? Why or Why not?How many of you acually know what stem cell research really is?
A %26amp; B.Embryonic stem cells are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of an early stage embryo.

C. The blastocyst is an early stage of mammal development early in pregnancy..A fetus is a developing mammal after the embryonic stage and before birth

D. I'm sorry but that's a dumb question. I won't even answer that.

E. Embryonic (explained above), adult stem cells which are found in adult tissues, and cord blood stem cells which are found in the umbilical cord.

F. Advantages= Ability to self-renew indefinitely and generate all the cell types of the organ that they come from,potentially regenerating the entire organ from a few cells.

G. See Above

H. Thus far only adult and cord blood stem cells have been successful in treating disease.

I. They are multipotent progenitor cells, meaning while they can create a large number of things.. they are still limited.

J. cancer, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and muscle damage and other conditions

K. Funding should be allocated toward human embryonic stem cell research, though monitored, if simply only for the knowledge.
