Answer: The correct answer is -

D) They are not regulated by contact inhibition.

Explanation:

Cancer cells are the rapidly proliferating cells that divide even without the presence of growth factors. They do not obey the property of contact inhibition (unlike normal cells, which stop dividing when they come in contact with each other).

In other words, cancer cells form disorganized multilayer of cells, which can not be regulated. As a consequence, they can even cross the blood vessels to other body organs ( a process that is called metastatis).

Thus, option D) is the best statement that describes cancer cells.

Which of these tasks would a hydrologist be most likely to perform?
GuDViN [60]

Hydrologists are most likely to perform actions relating to estimating the amount of groundwater in an aquifer.

<h3>Hydrologists</h3>

Hydrologists are scientists that specialize in the study of how water relates to the various crusts of the earth.

Hydrology in itself refers to the branch of science that studies how water moves relative to the earth's crusts.

Thus, species identification, age of fossils, or extracting underground oils have nothing to do with the work of hydrologists.

If one sample food contains 200 cal in another contains 300 cal, which statement applies?
Advocard [28]

<u>Answer</u>:

The food containing 200 calorie have less potential energy than the food containing 300 calorie

<u>Explanation</u>:

The potential energy content of a food material is its stored energy content which is in the form of chemical bonds. This energy can be measured through the combustion of food material inside a calorimeter. A calorimeter is an instrument which is used to measure the total calorie content of the food or other biological samples by measuring its heat content. A Calorie is unit of energy which is in form of heat.

The food material containing carbohydrates proteins and fats have energy in form of chemical bonds.  On the breaking of bond inside the body, energy is released as in the case of glucose breakdown also known as glycolysis.  

The energy released from glycolysis is used to synthesize high energy containing phosphoanhydride bonds. These ATP molecules are a further breakdown in the system to provide energy to the cell to perform various activities.
