Cancer cells have a high need for RNA, DNA, as well as energy
(ATP) as they rapidly divide. A precursor to the building blocks of
RNA and DNA is Ribose-5-P (R-5-P). A high sugar diet has been shown
to accelerate cancer growth. In terms of cellular metabolism,
explain why a high sugar diet might be able to fulfill cancer cells
high need for RNA, DNA, and ATP. For any metabolic pathways that
intersect, be sure to identify the intermediate(s) that...
