At the moment we don't really know if this will happen or not and we would have to wait and see but i think that scientists will be able as they can grow new heart valves so they probably will be able to grow new organs using stem cells because the organs do form when a baby is born so that's probably what scientists will try to do just copy the method and then they should be able to do it.

Hope it helped it's my science homework! LOL :)

explain why hormones in the bloodstream are able only to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs?

Hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs because of selective permeability. This means that hormones are only able to pass through the cell membrane of certain cells and organs, and not through the cell membrane of other cells and organs. The cell membrane of the target cells and organs are specialized to allow the hormones to pass through, while the cell membrane of other cells and organs are not specialized and are therefore impermeable to the hormones. This is due to the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. These receptor proteins can bind to the hormones and facilitate their entry into the cell. Since these receptor proteins are not present on the cell membrane of other cells and organs, the hormones are unable to bind to them and therefore unable to cross the cell membrane. In addition, hormones can be broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream, which means they can’t reach their target cells and organs if they are exposed to the enzymes. This further ensures that hormones only affect the target cells and organs, and not other cells and organs. In summary, hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells and organs and not other cells and organs because of selective permeability and the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. Other cells and organs do not have these specialized receptor proteins and therefore cannot be affected by the hormones.


Will scientists one day be able to grow whole organs?

This is a complicated subject that doesn't have a specific answer. Generally, organs grow larger as we develop into adulthood. Some organs, like the liver, regenerate, even when damaged. Others, like the brain, do not develop new cells. However this does not mean that the brain does not 'grow' in other ways. I'm sorry if this seems vague, but it is difficult to define 'grow' in this context. Obviously, if all of our organs continued to get bigger with age then old people would be huge! On a side note, there is a common misconception that your eyes do not grow. Actually, your eyes grow by 50% from childhood into adulthood. The confusion arises because the eyes of a baby are proportionally larger to its head than those of an adult.


Are organs alive?

Well, isn't that a wonderful question. Organs are a vital part of our bodies, working together like a happy little family to keep us healthy and alive. While organs are not alive in the same way plants or animals are, they are made up of living cells that work harmoniously to help us thrive. Just like a painting, our bodies are a beautiful masterpiece of nature's design.


What is the tissue that makes up organs that are able to contract or shorten?

The tissue that makes up organs that are able to contract or shorten is known as muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells that contain protein filaments that slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and generate force. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.


What piece of equipment helped scientists discover the cell theory?

The microscope was the piece of equipment that helped scientists discover the cell theory. By enabling them to observe and study microscopic organisms and cells, scientists were able to formulate the idea that all living organisms are composed of cells.

Scientists have not been able to eliminate the threat of future pandemics?

True, it is difficult to completely eliminate the threat of future pandemics due to the interconnected nature of our global society, the evolving nature of pathogens, and the potential for zoonotic spillover events. However, ongoing research, improved surveillance systems, and public health measures can help mitigate the impact of future pandemics.


What future plans are there for organ transplantation?

The future plans are to be able to clone organs in labs (or in pigs or sheep) which will make them essentially a perfect match for the recipient. This will also reduce the need for immunosuppressive drugs post transplant.

How did the earlier scientists and their contributions directly affect the discoveries of later scientists?
