to which they are present during the life of an individual (include the fertilized egg as
well as the adult that eventually results).

and what is that function? which types of tissue have stem cells of unknown function?
do any types of tissue lack stem cells?

12) draw a graph of the free energy of a molecule as a function of time for an exergonic
reaction and endergonic reaction. label on the graph “activation energy” and “net free
energy change.” how would these reactions be altered by the presence of an enzyme for
this reaction?
13) the disease rabies is caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. the
virus is normally introduced when an infected animal bites another, breaking the surface
of the skin and allowing the entry of saliva containing the virus. since the virus cannot
move by itself, how does it get to neurons in the central nervous system?
