Correct answer: D). They take nutrients needed by healthy cells, and as they grow they interfere with the function of normal cells and organs.

Cancer is uncontrolled growth of the cell in the body. The Old cell does not die and instead of that, they have grown out of control, which results in the formation of new abnormal cells. These may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.

Due to uncontrolled growth of a cell, the normal function of neighboring tissue or organ may be disturbed or it might damage vital organ such as kidney, heart, lung etc and may cause death.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1. "Amplitude".

Explanation:

Waves of sound have different properties, among them amplitude is the one that determines the loudness or volume of the sound. The amplitude is the  height of the wave, measured in meters, or in other word the maximum displacement of the sound's particle from its position of equilibrium. If a dolphin calling sounds louder because of the background noise, the waves of the sound that the dolphin produces would have a higher amplitude.

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does
faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.
