multipotent is stem cell that can only become a certain type of cell. That does a certian function.
Multipotent
A multipotent cell is a cell with the ability to differentiate into a limited number of types of specialised cell. Multipotent cells have usually undergone cell determination. For example, a white blood cell could develop into many different types of white blood cell but it is restricted to becoming a white blood cell and can not become anything else (like a skin cell).
The bone marrow contains 3 types of multipotent stem cells (i.e. cells which can differentiate into several other types of cells) in the stroma. However, other cells are fully differentiated.
Unipotent
A pluripotential cell is the property of a cell to develop into many different types of cells. This property could allow repair of damage caused by such diseases as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, as well as Diabetes, and injury to spinal cords.

The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.

Unipotent
There are 60 different types.

What kind(s) of cells can develop from multipotent stem cells?A. Only cells that are closely related to the original stem cell B. Only cells that are identical to the original stem cell C. Any cells of the human body or the placenta D. Any cells of the human body. but not cells of the placenta
