Textbook Question

Chapter 3, Problem 1CI

Vito has been experiencing persistent indigestion, heartburn, and loss of appetite. After many weeks of this discomfort, he finally schedules an appointment with his physician. The doctor performs a diagnostic procedure in which he passes a tube through Vito’s mouth into his stomach. Through this tube the doctor can use a scope to view the tissue lining Vito’s stomach. Upon examination, the doctor notices a tumor, or mass of abnormal cells, on the stomach wall. The doctor excises a small clump of tissue and sends it to the pathology laboratory for analysis. From what you have just learned about cells, answer the following questions about Vito’s condition.

Which word describing the tumor do Vito and his doctor hope to read in the lab report? Why? Which word do they not want to read in the report? Why?

Students have asked these similar questions

The term somatic cell refers to: A) normal body cells other than sperm and egg B) pluripotent cells C) most stem cells D) all of the above are somatic cells

You have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area? Choices: A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells. B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut. C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like. D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.

Which is true for cancer cells: 1) Cell death occurs after a determined number of cell divisions 2) Contact with other cells reduces chance of cell division 3) Cell division occurs in the presence of stop signals.
