When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

\"Multipotent stem cells can give rise to several other cell types, but those types are limited in number. An example of multipotent cells is hematopoietic cells—blood stem cells that can develop into several types of blood cells, but cannot develop into brain cells. At the end of the long chain of cell divisions that make up the embryo are \"terminally differentiated\" cells—cells that are considered to be permanently committed to a specific function.\"

What do the terms totipotent, pluripotent and multipotent mean?
Totipotent cells, like the cells of a fertilized egg in the first few days after fertilization, can give rise to a fully functional organism. During normal development, the totipotent cells become more specialized and are considered pluripotent, meaning that they can give rise to every cell type in the body, but will not give rise to the placenta or supporting tissues necessary for fetal development. Because their potential is not total, they are not totipotent and they are not embryos. Pluripotent stem cells undergo further specialization into stem cells committed to giving rise to cells that are specialized for a particular function. Multipotent cells can give rise to the cell types found in the tissue from which they were derived, such as blood stem cells that give rise only to red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, or skin stem cells that give rise only to the various types of skin cells.
