Question
Sandra is a 30-year-old woman. After medical images and blood tests, Sandra's mother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her mother's mother died of breast cancer several years ago. Should Sandra be concerned that she might be at higher
risk for breast cancer herself?
O Yes. While there does not seem to be a genetic link with breast cancer, she has been exposed to the same environmental factors as the rest of her family
Yes. Some forms of breast cancer have been linked to a gene mutation which she may have inherited from her mother's side of the family
O No. The causes
breast cancer have not been completely identified so she is probably at no greater risk than any other woman in the population
O No. Detection of and treatments for breast cancer have improved so dramatically in recent years that it is unlikely she would develop breast cancer

Metabolism is generally referred to as the chemical processes that allow the body to function. As shown in the graph, how do enzymes allow metabolic chemical reactions to proceed more quickly?
O Enzymes lower the activation energy and speed up biochemical reactions
Enzymes cause products of biochemical reaction to break down
Enzymes decrease the amount of reactants needed for biochemical reactions
O Enzymes convert carbohydrates into proteins during biochemical reactions
O O O o
