Grade 11 - Biology

1. UNICELLULAR AND MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS

2. DIFFERENTIATION OF CELLS
Differences between these organisms???

LION PARAMECIUM
What are they?
Specialised cells in plants
Specialised cells in animals
What are stem cells?
- which characteristics they have?
- from where they can be obtained?
- why are they useful?
What are stem cells?
How does a cell specialize?
According to their potency
 A multipotent stem cell in the
Examples bone marrow that can lead to the
formation of several types of blood
cells

Many of these, are different

examples of white blood
cells with different specific
functions related to defense
Stem Cells classification according to their origin
- what represents an advantage for their use? ()
- what represents a disadvantage for their use? (χ)
Differentiation in early embryo
divisions

A gradient of chemicals
determines their
specialisation
Stem cells can specialize (differentiate) into
other types of cells
Pages 13-14 from the textbook, other uses explained
Conclusion
Be able to describe characteristics of stem cells
Be familiar with the classification of stem cells according to their
potency
Be familiar with the classification of stem cells according to their
source
Be able to describe some therapeutical uses of stem cells
Be able to describe the process of cell differentiation / specialization
