Answer: Hey again!
Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Elemental form of carbon means the pure form of carbon, that is, carbon is present in its natural form.
An elemental form also means that the pure atoms are not attached to any other atom.
For example, diamond is an allotrope of carbon in which there are only carbon atoms attached to each other and no other atom is present in it.
Whereas methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms attached to each other therefore, it is not an elemental carbon. And proteins include different atoms attached to each other.
Thus, we can conclude that diamond is an example of elemental carbon.

Answer:
I am pretty sure that the answer is A.
Explanation:
Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.
I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
If it's a true or false question it's true.
