Chapter 11, Problem 11TYU
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY The aging process is thought to be initiated at the cellular level. Among the changes that can occur after a certain number of cell divisions is the loss of a cell's ability to respond to growth factors and other signals. Much research into aging is aimed at understanding such losses, with the ultimate goal of extending the human life Span. Not everyone, however, agrees that this is a desirable goal. If life expectancy were greatly increased, discuss what might be the social and ecological consequences.

All of the specialized somatic cells of multicellular organisms _________.
Select one:
contain less genetic material than less specialized cells of the same organism.
develop through mutation from less specialized cells of the organism.
have the same amount of DNA and the same number of chromosomes as all other cells of the organism and develop from the same basic stem cells.
contain more genetic material than less specialized cells of the same organism
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in
our society. Cancer is a disease in which a cell
in the body loses its sensitivity to factors which
regulate cell growth and division. The cell begins
to multiply without restriction, creating a growing
mass called a tumor, which interferes with the
structure and functioning of the organ in which it
is located.
Frequently, cancer cells become metastatic,
meaning that they travel, settling in a number of
places and giving rise to secondary tumors.
Much of medical research is devoted to finding
ways of preventing, controlling, and curing
cancer.
41. Because of the metastatic trait of cancer
cells, how can
treatment to be effective?
we judge a
cancer
A. if the entire body has been proven free
of tumors over a period of time
B. if the highest possible levels of
treatment have been used
C. if the original-source tumor has been
identified
D. if no new cancer cells are found in 2
weeks
E. if the complete tumor is removed
None

- CU: Structure and Function In the 1800s two scientists, Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden, studied different types of organisms. After many years of studying a great variety of organisms, they drew similar but independent conclusions about their observations. Schwann studied animals and concluded that all animals are made of cells. Schleiden studied plants and concluded that all plants are made of cells. What statement was developed most directly from these conclusions and is part of the modern cell theory? Cells contain hereditary information. O Cells exist only in multicellular organisms.
