Which of the following is true concerning cancer cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a.They evade the normal controls that trigger programmed cell death.

Explanation:

Cancer cells are cells in the body that grow abnormal and uncontrollably. Continuous growth cancer cells results in the development of tumor as well as the ability to invade neighboring tissues.

Unlike normal cells that are controlled (reproduce only when needed) and are more specialized with specific functions, cancer cells are less specialized compared to normal cells and grow abnormally and rapidly. Cancers cells grow out of control, as they evade the normal control and ignore signals that activate apoptosis or programmed cell death which is used by the body system to destroy unwanted cells.

If the polysaccharides are composed of the same monosaccharides, how do they differ?
inn [45]

Monosaccharides are simple sugar unit molecules, whereas polysaccharides are enormous, linking thousands of sugar units. Monosaccharides provide cells with short-term energy. Polysaccharides provide long-term energy storage and rigid structure to cell walls and exoskeletons of animals.

What is the key activating signal in the TNF receptor signaling pathway that occurs downstream of TNF-alpha binding to the extra
Olenka [21]

Answer:

TNF-alpha is expressed as a homotrimer that exerts its activities through binding to two types of receptors: TNFR1 and TNFR2, which are transmembrane glycoproteins characterized by having an extracellular domain with 4 cysteine-rich domains (CRD 1-4) , each with 3 cysteinecysteine disulfide bonds.

Explanation:

TNF-alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor), which has the characteristic of being a paracrine signaling ligand, is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a mediator of immune regulation, the inflammatory response and apoptosis in some cell types. Receptors in this family are involved, with some exceptions, in juxtacrine signaling; that is, both the ligand and the receptor are membrane proteins with extracellular domains through which signaling is established. The cellular responses promoted by TNF are initiated by its interaction with two different types of cell receptors, the type I receptor (55 kDa) and the type II receptor (75 kDa). Both types of receptors are part of the TNF receptor family, members of which include Fas antigen (apoptosis inducer, also called Apo-1 or CD95), CD27 (T-cell activation antigen), CD30 (lymphoma marker Hodgkin) and CD40 (B-cell antigen), which share the characteristic of cysteine-rich sequences in their extracellular domains. This family of cytokines generate cellular responses that include differentiation, proliferation, activation of NFκB and cell death, promoting the aggregation of receptor monomers, that is, they have a transmembrane domain that participates in the solubilization of the receptor and a domain of intracellular death that is involved in signal transduction. The binding of TNF to TNF-R1 induces a signaling cascade through its intracellular death domain, which subsequently leads to the activation of complex I (or inflammatory) of NFkB and proceeds to the transcription of anti-apoptotic genes, pro- inflammatory diseases and apoptosis complex II (caspases).

Where does the optic nerve cross the midline?​
Alik [6]
The answer to this question would be: <span>a. optic chiasm

The optic nerve will be crossed in optic chiasm. Only a part of the optic nerve is crossing the midline. So, if there is a damage in the nerve after crossing, the visual loss will not only appear in one eye but half of both eye. Damage in right visual cortex will cause the left and right eye losing their half (left part) of their visual field.</span>
