Answer:

The number of cell divisions is too large to even estimate.

Explanation:

Think, for every cell to be formed, a parent cell needed to divide. on top of that, for every parent cell is the result of another parent cell. Think of how small a cell is, and think of how many cells are in the onion.  The fact that onions are still onions is incredible, because a DNA mutation occurs at a very high rate during cell division.  When DNA divides, it sometimes doesn't divide evenly, resulting in too much DNA is one cell, and not enough in another.   Science has proven that the composition of DNA is what makes humans humans, trees trees, and onions onions.  The fact that onions have withstood the millions upon millions of DNA mutations while still remaining a species, is astonishing.

slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.
