Document Summary
The answers cannot be more than 4 lines. They must be written in a scientific language. Longer answers will be penalized by point deductions. All answers must be typed: what is the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells? (5points) Embryonic stem cells have the ability to become into almost every type of cell in the body while adult stem cells differentiate into limited and specialized cell types. The body stops growing when a certain hormone level is reached. Anabolic steroids cause an increase in hormone levels, causing the growth plates to ossify earlier which causes the body to think that it has already gone through puberty. It would have a shorter muscle twitch duration because it is a fast glycolytic fiber which creates finer movements due to being densely packed and having larger reserves of glycogen for quicker but shorter, anaerobic energy.
