Stem cell
A cell that can divide (by mitosis) an unlimited number of times
View source
Stem cell division
Each new cell has the potential to remain a stem cell or to develop into a specialised cell (by a process known as differentiation)

how are red blood cells adapted to their function
they are
small
to allow
movement
through narrow
capillaries
how are sperm cells adapted to their function
they are long to allow for movement towards the egg cell
how are nerve cells adapted to their function
they have a large cell body to allow fo protein synthesis
how are muscle cells adapted to their function
they are larger than normal cells to exert force during muscle contraction
what is the rate of metabolism dependent on
the
mass
or
volume
of a cell
what is the rate of exchange dependent on
the
surface area
