What are the advantage of using pluripotent cells instead of multipotent cells for medical treatments?

Pluripotent cells have the potential to differentiate into any cell type in the body, offering a wider range of therapeutic applications compared to multipotent cells. Pluripotent cells can also be expanded more readily in culture, making them more suitable for large-scale production. Additionally, pluripotent cells can be used to model genetic diseases and study developmental processes.


Why are large bones important to produce blood cells?

Large bones, such as the femur and pelvic bones, contain bone marrow that is responsible for producing blood cells. The bone marrow contains stem cells that can differentiate into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Having large bones with ample space for bone marrow helps ensure a sufficient production of blood cells, which is essential for maintaining a healthy blood supply in the body.


What are the advantages of being composed of many small cells instead of a few large ones?

When there are more components to a system, like having more cells, then there is a greater potential for more complex behaviors. With more complexity, there can be some advantages for survival. The interesting thing is that we still have here on earth, very simple organisms that are composed of one or just a small number of cells, and we also have organisms that are composed of a large number of 'small' cells. The jury is still not out on which are more successful. As an example, if we complex humans with a large number of small cells launch a nuclear attack against each other, we would all die, but the cockroaches would probably survive because, in part, they are made of a smaller number of cells. Which anatomy has a better advantage? It's hard to say.


What is the difference between cell plant cells and animal cells?

Plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles. Animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts, or large vacuoles; instead they have centrioles for cell division which plant cells lack. Both cell types have a nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles.


What is the name for a part of an organism consisting of a large number of cells having similar structure and function?

That part of an organism is called a tissue. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body.

Why are organs made up of small cells instead of large cells?

Organs are made up of small cells instead of large cells to allow the organs to be not easily harmed. This way if one cell dies or is attacked then the organ will not be damaged. If the cell was larger then the organ might not be able to recover.
