Answer: The correct answer is a) Peroxisomes.

Explanation: This kind of membrane enclosed organelles has a mainly function that is the oxidation, this source manages to break fatty acids and during normal metabolism, they also has many enzimes like d-aminoacid oxidases, is another of their functions. Further, the catalase enzime (another enzime which is inside peroxisomes) manages the detoxification of chemicals like alcohol from alcoholic drinks (catalases transform the H2O2, which is toxic, into H2O to detoxificate the liver).

Describe how cancer cells are different from other cells. Based on that, explain why cancer is so hard to cure.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Cancer cells are cells that basically bypass any sort of regulatory processes in the cell cycle (and mitosis - the splitting of the cell). This leads to uncontrollable cell growth/duplication which hence leads to more and more cancerous cells. Cancer itself is so hard to cure for a couple of different reasons. If the cells are in the form of a benign tumor, that is a tumor that does not spread from its original infected tissue, it should be "easy" to remove with surgery. However, if it metastasizes, or spreads into surrounding tissues through the lymph or blood systems, then it becomes even harder to remove because of its far reach and complex structure. Also, cancer cells can be simply described as normal body cells that have gone rogue. That being said, things such as antibiotics, that are designed to get rid of foreign bodies, cannot get rid of cancerous cells without getting rid of most of your regular body cells as well simply because they cannot tell the difference.

Hope this helps :)
