Question

A cell is considered cancerous when it acquires a mutation that makes it unable to regulate its cell cycle, and as a result divides more often than a normal, healthy cell. Based on the increased energy demands of this condition, what would you expect to be true about glycolysis in cancer cells? a) Glycolysis occurs at a faster rate in healthy cells than in cancer cells. b) The rate of glycolysis is unaffected by the cancer state of a cell. c) The rate of glycolysis is higher in cancer cells than in healthy cells.

Answer 1
