Answer: B

Explanation:

If glucose and arsenate are both added to the cell extract, at first glycolysis will start.

In step one of glycolysis, glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate catalyzed by hexokinase which splits the ATP into ADP, and the Pi is added on to the glucose.

In step 3 of glycolysis, fructose-6-phosphate is further phosphorylated to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The enzyme is phosphofructokinase. This again involves hydrolysis of another ATP molecule.

A total of two ATP is used.

Step 6 in glycolysis reaction which involves generation of 2 ATP's molecules is inhibited by arsenate. Hence all other glycolytic reaction would not take place. Therefore no ATP is produced and pyruvate is not produced also.

ATP level decreases because ATP is only used up but no ATP is gained from the inhibited pathway. Also the inhibition of the step 6 enzyme cut short the pathway and pyruvate the end product of the pathway is not formed.

Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All
Ber [7]
I’d say the last one, the cancer cells lack inhibition and the do not stop reproducing. The rest of the answers don’t really make sense. The cancer cells can be controlled with chemotherapy so the first one is definitely wrong. And I do not believe that they contain stem cells. The last one is right because the reason cells become cancerous is because their growth inhibitors are broken or switched off, so they do not know when to stop growing and it becomes a problem for the body.
