Answer:

-Adult stem cells are found in small numbers in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat. Compared with embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have a more limited ability to give rise to various cells of the body.

- Embryonic stem cells can become anything because they are pluripotent while adult stem cells are limited to what they can become. Also embryonic stem cells can be easily grown in culture.
