, Cancer Uncontrolled cell growth
Carcinogen Agent that causes cancer (90 % of carcinogens
cause mutations in DNA)
Anchorage dependence Cells must be attached to a surface to divide
Density-dependent inhibition Crowded cells stop dividing
The most common type of cancer Breast cancer
The most deadly form of cancer Lung and Bronchus cancer
What is the difference between Normal healthy cells are both density-dependent
normal cells and cancer cells in and anchorage-dependent, meaning that the cells
terms of density-dependent must be attached to a surface and that crowded
inhibition and anchorage cells stop dividing. Cancer cells are neither
dependence? density-dependent nor anchorage-dependent,
meaning they can form large clumps (tumors) and
grow in suspension.
Malignant tumors Invade surrounding tissues and destroy organs
Metastasis tumor Spread of cancer cells through blood and lymph
systems to other parts of the body
Benign tumors do not invade organs
