Question

question which of the following statements about cancer cells is accurate? select all that apply cancer cells do not resemble normal cells. cancer cells no longer perform their original function. cancer cells eat normal cells in an organ. cancer cells are very metabolically active.

Explanation:

• "Cancer cells do not resemble normal cells": Cancer cells have abnormal morphology compared to normal cells, so this is accurate.
• "Cancer cells no longer perform their original function": Due to uncontrolled growth and abnormal differentiation, cancer cells lose their normal cellular functions, so this is accurate.
• "Cancer cells eat normal cells in an organ": Cancer cells do not "eat" normal cells; they compete for resources and space, so this is inaccurate.
• "Cancer cells are very metabolically active": Cancer cells have high metabolic activity to support their rapid proliferation, so this is accurate.

Answer:

• Cancer cells do not resemble normal cells
• Cancer cells no longer perform their original function
• Cancer cells are very metabolically active
