Expert Solution

Solution:
10) Option C is correct.
Most cells like to grow attached to a surface or to other cells. However, cancer cells break away from the mass and move through the bloodstream. This process is called metastasis.On other an angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed. Apoptosis is the mechanism of programmed cell death.

11) Option B is correct.
In class we discussed a drug that is used to treat cancer by blocking new blood vessel formation which feeds a tumor. This drug blocks angiogenesis and is called Avastin.

12) Option C is correct.
Maraviroc is a drug developed to bind to CCR5 based on research that showed that this receptor was necessary for HIV to enter the T cell. This receptor was also necessary for the agent of the Black Death to cause illness and death.This drug is highly used in HIV treatment and plays an important role of HIV entry inhibitor in the body cell.

1. Consider the cyanobacteria Anabaena. Individual cells grow attached to each other in long chains. Most perform photosynthesis, using photosystems I and II to generate ATP and NADPH that they use to power the fixation of carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle. However, a small number form heterocysts, cell that instead of performing photosynthesis, fix nitrogen into ammonium. Heterocyts share their nitrogen compounds with their photosynthetic neighbors, who in turn share sugars with the heterocysts. a)If you extracted all the...

28) Why do cells grow and become cancerous when p53 is mutated? A. The cancer cells stimulate blood vessel growth for nutrients and metastasis. B. p53 is a transcription factor which turns on a growth factor gene, thus stimulating mitosis. C. p53 is a transcription factor which turns on a gene for a growth-inhibitory protein. D. p53 is an oncogene which is integrated into genome from human papilloma virus. 29). If all humans are 99.9% same at DNA level, how...

A 10 kg block on a horizontal surface is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 4.4 kN/m. The block is pulled to the right so that the spring is stretched 5.8 cm beyond its relaxed length, and the block is then released from rest. The frictional force between the sliding block and the surface has a magnitude of 38 N. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the block when it has moved 2.2 cm from...
