Stem cells may prove useful in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes becauseA) they form enzymes that remove excess glucose from the body.
B) they help the body to breakdown glucose into a simpler form.
Eliminate
C) they can be differentiated to form insulin-producing cells.
D) they can be differentiated into cells that can be used to make a new liver.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is C) they can be differentiated to form insulin-producing cells. 

Diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar level. In normal condition, insulin secreted from pancreas maintain blood sugar level by decreasing it. In Type 1 diabetes beta cells of a pancreas which produce insulin are destroyed. Thus, if there is no enough insulin, the level of sugar in the blood remains high. Therefore, stem cells can be used as precursors of pancreatic cells in order to differentiate into insulin-producing cells. This would provide enough insulin to maintain blood sugar level.

I agree that the answer is C.

Can someone please rewrite this and make it sound good. PLEASE HELP VERY DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The scientist obtains either the same gene or the same protein from each of the three organisms. Then the sequence of the DNA or protein is determined and the three sequences are lined up and compared to see how well they match. The greater the match between any pair of sequences, the closer the linkage is between the two organisms. The greater the difference in sequence, the more distant the relationship. Once it has been determined how close or distant the relationship is between all of the organisms, a diagram is created that resembles a branched tree. Organisms are placed on closely linked branches if they have a strong math in sequence, while organisms with poorly matching sequences are placed on branches much farther away from one another.

Answers

In a scientific sense, a chemical process is a method or means of somehow changing one or more chemicals or chemical compounds. Such a chemical process can occur by itself or be caused by an outside force, and involves a chemical reaction of some sort.

Find the sum of a 9-term geometric sequence when the first term is 4 and the last term is 1,024 and select the correct answer below.A.682
B.2044
C.2048
D.678

Answers

First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.

a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
1024 = 4 r^(9-1)
256 = r^8
r = 256^(1/8)
r = 2

Then, we can find the sum by the expression:

S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(9) = 4 (1 - 2^9) / 1-2
S(9) = 2044

Therefore, the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B.

Answer:

2044, B

Which scientist studies biotic factors?

Answers

The scientist that studies biotic factors would be a biologist. The reason for this is the fact that biologists are scientists who study all living things which are also all the biotic factors. Although it is also true that other scientists could be studying biotic factors as well. 

What specifically is this biochemical used for, and how is it broken down during digestion?

Answers

digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three main enzymes: pepsin, secreted by the stomach, and trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas.During carbohydrate digestion the bonds between glucose molecules are broken by salivary and pancreatic amylase.The digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth, where short-chain lipids break down into diglycerides because of lingual lipase. The fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver enables the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.DNA and RNA are broken down into mononucleotides by the nucleases deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease (DNase and RNase) that are released by the pancreas.
