The answer is the third one (or C): progenitor cell.

Explanation for each option:

  • Stem cell: This is a cell that has the potential to develop into different types of cells in the body. It is not the correct answer because the question asks for a cell that is between a stem cell and a fully differentiated cell.
  • Somatic cell: This refers to any cell in the body that is not a germ cell (sperm or egg). It is not the correct answer because somatic cells are already differentiated.
  • Progenitor cell: This is a cell that is derived from a stem cell and has the potential to differentiate into a specific type of cell. It is the correct answer because it fits the description of being between a stem cell and a fully differentiated cell.
  • Prey: This is not a relevant term in the context of cell biology and is therefore incorrect.

Summary: The correct answer is progenitor cell, as it is the type of cell that exists in the lineage between a stem cell and a fully differentiated cell.

The Devon Motor Company produces automobiles. On April 1, the company had no beginning inventories, and it purchased 6,620 batteries at a cost of 110 per battery. It withdrew 6,100 batteries from the storeroom during the month. Of these, 100 were used to replace batteries in cars used by the company's traveling sales staff. The remaining 6,000 batteries withdrawn from the storeroom were placed in cars being produced by the company. Of the cars in production during April, 90 percent were completed and transferred from work in process to finished goods. Of the cars completed during the month, 30 percent were unsold at April 30. Required: 1. and 2 Determine the cost of batteries appearing in each of the following accounts on April 30 and select whether each of the accounts would appear on the balance sheet or on the income statement. Name of the Account Cost Appears on: Raw Materials Work in Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Selling Expense
