What does it tell us about aging that cells from different organisms are capable of a fixed number of divisions in culture, and that number of divisions reflects the relative life-span of the organism?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The cells from these different organisms are not all equally adapted to growth in culture.
  2. In each organism, the cells seem to be capable of a genetically determined number of divisions, after which the organism undergoes senescence and dies.
  3. Cells growing in culture live for the same number of years that the organism from which they are derived would be expected to live, indicating a genetically determined life span.
  4. The conditions cells encounter in culture lead to oxidative damage which reflects the kind of damage that normally leads to aging in the organism.

N2 combines with hydrogen to form ammonia under elevated temperature (about 200°C) and high pressure (about 200 atmospheres) and in the presence of a metal catalyst (usually iron). The extreme conditions are required to overcome the high activation energy of the reaction. This nitrogen fixation reaction, called
