Answer:

The options

A)Damage to cellular mitochondria

B)Increased ATP levels

C)Activation of the p53 protein

D)Apoptosis

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D

D)Apoptosis

Explanation:

The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis includes extracellular signaling proteins which adhere to cell surface molecules known aa death receptors which in turn activates apoptosis.

The aftermath activates endonucleases prompting division of DNA and ultimately cell death.

Apart from the TNF and Fas ligand, primary signaling molecules also promotes the extrinsic pathway, examples of such are the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL); the cytokineinterleukin-1 (IL-1); and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the endotoxin located in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria while the activation of the p53 protein, and decreased ATP levels in the intrinsic pathway results in DNA damage.

irakobra [83]
<span>Hypotheses are typically written in an "if-then" format. This statement concerning algal increases could be properly written as "if the red algal concentration is higher than usual, then there will be dead fish floating on the surface of the water." These statements allow us to test the belief and see if there are causal links between the two.</span>

How is cancer related to the cell cycle?
solong [7]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Hope I helped! :)
