Answer:The correct options are A and C.

They absorb nutrients needed by other cells.

They prevent organs from functioning properly

Explanation:

Cancer can be described as the rapid growth of abnormal cells which can cause tumours.

Recent researches have shown that cancer cells require high levels of energy for growth and development and they gain this energy by taking sugars and amino acids from the normal functioning cells. Hence, option A is correct.

As cancer cells destroy the other normal functioning cells of the body, they cause organs and systems to not function properly. Hence, option C is correct.

nadya68 [22]
I think most scientists would not respect this researchers claim.
It doesn't seem like the researcher followed the steps of the scientific method.
1.) Making an observation.
2.)Asking questions.
3.)Forming a hypothesis.
4.)Conducting an experiment.
5.)Analyzing Data.
6.)Drawing a conclusion.
7.)Showing work to others.

Publishing his/her work would be the very last step after completing everything else.

A field of corn contains a certain amount of food energy. Compare the following situations and then answer the questions. Use th
trasher [3.6K]

Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.

Case 1: Corn to human:

Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.

Case 2: Corn to cow to human:

Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.

It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
