Question

Which of the following statements about cancer cells is TRUE?

a. The respiratory chain is highly active to support fast growth and cell division.

b. Cancer cells produce 2 lactate, a NADH and 4 ATP from glucose.

c. Many cancer cells produce less energy than ‘healthy’ body cells because their mitochondria have been lost during cell division.

d. Cancer cells produce less energy than healthy body cells due to a malfunction of their TCA cycle.

e. Cancer cells are unable to produce as much energy as healthy body cells because glucose oxidation finishes at the end of glycolysis.

Explanation / Answer

Ans. c.) Many cancer cells produce less energy than healthy body cells because their mitochondria have been lost during cell division.

Cancer cells are those cells that form a pure tumor or a union of abnormal cells, causing blood flows. Cell division is the action that the body uses for development and repair. A parent cell divides two daughters, and the cells of that daughter are used to make new tissue, or for the replacement of cells that result from aging and loss. Healthy cells stop bleeding when that does not require the daughters of the baby, and copies of cancer cells continue. The body is spread from one part to the other and in a process the metastasis is known in the same way.
