Question
Which two types of human cancer cells not only survived RIP treatment, but actually slightly increased in population at some concentrations of RIP? Check all that apply.
 
 
Liver cancer cells
 
Skin cancer cells
 
Prostate cancer cells
 
Breast cancer cells
The graph depicts the effect of RIP (a compound) on cell survival across four types of cancer: liver, skin, prostate, and breast.

**Graph Explanation:**
- **Axes:**
  - The x-axis represents the concentration of RIP in micrograms per liter (µg/liter).
  - The y-axis indicates cell survival percentage (%).

- **Data Points:**
  - **Liver Cancer (▲):** Starts around 100% survival, slightly decreases as RIP concentration increases.
  - **Skin Cancer (●):** Begins near 100% survival, sharply decreases to near 0% at higher concentrations.
  - **Prostate Cancer (■):** Starts around 100% and decreases gradually with concentration.
  - **Breast Cancer (♦):** Shows a minor decline, maintaining higher survival rates than the other cancers.

- **Trends:**
  - Skin cancer cells are highly sensitive to RIP, with survival drastically dropping as the concentration increases.
  - Prostate, liver, and breast cancer cell survivals are less affected, showing moderate decreases.
  
- **Conclusion:**
  - RIP has varying effectiveness on different cancer types, with significant impact on skin cancer cell survival.
