When a drug binds to a receptor in the body , the receptor is activated or inactivated.
Molecules such as hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that bind to a receptor are called ligands. The binding can be specific and reversible. A ligand may activate or inactivate the receptor; activation may increase or decrease a particular cell function. Each ligand may interact with multiple receptor subtypes.
Answer: Option D
The peroxisome functions in macromolecular biosynthesis and breaks down fatty acids and other organic compounds.
Explanation:
Peroxisome are cellular organelles that play roles in metabolic process such as oxidation of lipids to yield simple products of carbon dioxide and water.
It also helps in the synthesis of biotin, a vitamin that activates many enzymes catalysing several cellular reactions.
The cells show characteristics of tumors.
Tumor cells have the ability to grow and proliferate in absence of adhesion or anchoring. This is particularly helpful during metastasis when a cancer cell travels through the bloodstream to another location.

A cancerous cell has a number of mutations that regulate cell division. In addition, they exhibit impairment in DNA repair system. Therefore, cancer cell divided fast. Since the DNA repair system is nonfictional, the cells do not pause division to repair the mutation.</span>
