Cancer is a malfunction in the process of mitosis. If there is a cancerous cell, the cell is divided uncontrollably. According to Paul Arnold, a biological scientist, says “Once a cell in the body has changed in this way, it tends to multiply at a much more rapid rate than normal, and the …show more content…
We believe that Patient A has the cancer. The evidence we found to support this was the unorganized arrangement and shape of the cells. They can be smaller or larger and have a distorted shape that vary. The nucleus also is usually smaller than the cytoplasm, but because they are enlarged and have more than one, there is less of the jelly like substance in the cell. They also appear darker because it contains too much DNA from the rapid divisions. According to the American Cancer society, stomach cells form glands “to make enzymes and acid that digest the food, as well as mucus that helps protect the stomach lining.” If cancer develops, they do not form the glands that they should that are abnormal or distorted, or even clumps that don’t look like a gland at all. Additionally, the American Cancer Society also says that cancer cells invade other tissues, rather than staying within their tissue. It was evident that the other patient did not have cancer because the cells in the tissues were organized into rows. According to Lynne Eldridge, “Normal cells secrete substances that make them stick together in a group,” which is how they appear to be managed into neat columns. They also have a consistent circular shape. No cell is shaped oddly compared to the rest. Furthermore, the organelles within the cells are organized correctly and in the correct size and …show more content…
If there is a cancerous cell, the cell is divided uncontrollably. According to Paul Arnold, a biological scientist, says “Once a cell in the body has changed in this way, it tends to multiply at a much more rapid rate than normal, and the bad cancerous cells proliferate and pile up.” The pile up causes a tumor, which releases proteins into the body that attract blood vessel growth to supply it with needed food (glucose) ad oxygen to continue its damaging travel through the bloodstream. They go through abnormal mitosis that escape to normal controls of mitotic cell
