Human blood cells, early embryous of the african clawed frog, sea urchin embryo, early zebrafish embryo, amoeba proteus stained wirh ph dependent dye, mouse embryotic steam cells, human red blood cells, eodea cell, human cheek cells staines with methylene blue 1. which display cells that are differentiated that is specialized for particular function? How many of their functions can you name? Would you argue that the amoeba is a differentiated cell or not? 2. Which display cells that are not differentiated? as they continued to divide, will some of their descendants become differiated? what kinds of diferretianted cells will they be? Solution Answer: 1. The human red cells, the human cheek cells, the Elodea cells, and human blood cells are specialized cells. Red cells are specialized in transport of oxygen in blood. Cheek epithelial cells form the basal mucosa of the cheek, they supply enough moisture in the mouth for the enzymes to thrive. Elodea cells contain chloroplasts which perform photosynthesis converting sunlight into biochemical energy and stored as carbohydrates. Amoeba proteus is not a differentiated cell. Differentiated cells often do not divide under normal conditions and can be thought of being in the G0 phase. Amoeba can differentiate into spore cell and stalk cell. 2. Early embryos of the african clawed frog, sea urchin embryo, early zebrafish embryo, mouse embryonic stem cells and amoeba (discussed in answer 1) are not differentiated cells. The different embryos undergoes differentiation and embryonic development to form specialized tissues and organs for performing specific functions, such as pharynx, oesophagus, lungs, liver, etc. Embryonic stem cells undergo differentiation to form specialized cells to perform specific functions. They can be totipotent (can give rise to the whole organism) or pluripotent..
