- You have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area? Choices: A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells. B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut. C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like. D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.arrow_forwardThe majority of metastases are the result of cancer cell invasion through which one of the following (select one)?

- Some types of cancers are treated with surgery, chemotherapy, stem cell replacement or radiation, similar to ultraviolet light. Why might it be beneficial to irradiate cancer cells? Choose the Best answer. A. it kills off all the cancer cells. B. it forces all cancer cells into G0 C. it will halt cell division and possibly be forced into apoptosis D. it could kill off the cancer cells, halt cell division or possibly force the cell into apoptosisarrow_forwardWhich of the following cell-types are most likely to secrete Matrix Metalloproteases (MMPs) that remodel ECM near tumor (select all that apply)? A. Carcinoma Cells B. Mast cells C. Normal Epithelial Cells D. Macrophages E. Fibroblastsarrow_forwardWhy are stem cells not more abundant in the human body? I learned that stem cells can proliferate into any kind of cell in the body. These cells can be very beneficial for repairing damaged tissues and replacing dead tissue. So, if stem cells have so many uses and benefits why are they not more abundant in the human body? What are the benefits and risks of an increase of stem cells? Do the benefits outweigh the possible problems? Is an increase in stem cell numbers only worth while when an injury has occurred such as in stem cell therapy? Thank youarrow_forward
