Answer:

The connection between cancer cells stimulates uncontrolled proliferation and tumor growth

Explanation:

In the tumor, cancer cells are interconnected by different types of proteins, which may act as receptors or amplify oncogenic signals. For example, in breast cancer, it has been shown that oncogenic cells are often connected through E-cadherin proteins that mediate their adhesion, thereby stimulating the cell movement and invasion (characteristic of tumor metastasis). In this case, E-cadherin membrane proteins function by enhancing effector response in cancer cells. The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell that modulates the expression of tumor suppressor genes in order to inhibit tumor metastasis.

Aneli [31]

Answer: The air surrounding the petri dish and the agar medium are providing the necessary resources required for the growth of the bacteria.

Explanation:

Bacteria require food, suitable environment and water necessary for the growth and survival of the bacteria. Nutrient agar is sufficient to provide all these resources to bacteria necessary for survival and reproduction. Also the short generation time of bacteria allows the colonization at a faster pace. The nutrient agar provide resources which sustain the carrying capacity of the agar for longer.
