Question

which type of research would be used if a scientist wanted to know how sugar impacted the growth of cancer cells?
theoretical
basic
practical
applied

Explanation:

• Theoretical research focuses on developing or testing theories without immediate practical application.
• Basic research aims to expand knowledge for its own sake, not for a specific use.
• Practical research is about real - world problems and solutions.
• Applied research uses existing knowledge (from basic research) to solve specific problems. Here, studying sugar's impact on cancer cell growth is to address a specific medical problem (related to cancer), so it is applied research.

Answer:

applied
