How are tumor cells different from normal cells?

The big difference is growth. Normal cells stop growing when there are enough in one spot.

For example: When you get a cut, cells go to heal the wound, and the cells grow. But when the work is done, the cells stop growing.

But, cancer/tumor cells (not at a wound) grow and grow even when touching the first layers of muscle and skin. This would be what creates the lump. So, these bad cells are very overgrown and practically swollen cells.

Hope I helped.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Population dynamics can be described as the size of a particular population and the environmental and biological factors which influence it.

For human populations, a population which is greater than the resources can be controlled by decreasing the number of births in that population. It can be controlled by people migrating from the place due to less resources available.

For animals, the population can be controlled by increasing the amount of predators for the particular population so that they decline in number. Or shifting of the organisms can be done to places where there are enough resources available.

k0ka [10]

Answer: Antidepressants

Explanation:

The effectiveness of ANTIDEPRESSANTS is best explained by how they stimulate the synapse junctions of several neurons in the body to a top frequency, thus inducing a continuous "feel-good" feeling in the patients administered such drugs.

This ability of antidepressants to sustain this "feel - good" feeling supresses depression and is known as the long-term potentiation of nerve cells.
