QUESTION
How do cancer cells differ from normal cells?
H

Answer
There are many differences between cancer cells and
normal cells. Some of the differences are well known,
whereas others have only been recently discovered and
are less well understood.
53 | P a g e

N
PA
TA
G
Cancer Cells vs. Normal Cells ::
N
PI

Below are some of the major differences between normal

cells and cancer cells, which in turn account for how
EL

malignant tumors grow and respond differently to their

surroundings than benign tumors.
H

Growth :—
54 | P a g e

Normal cells stop growing (reproducing) when enough cells

are present. For example, if cells are being produced to
repair a cut in the skin, new cells are no longer produced
when there are enough cells present to fill the hole; when
the repair work is done. In contrast, cancer cells don’t stop
growing when there are enough cells present. This
continued growth often results in a tumor (a cluster of

N
cancer cells) being formed.

PA
Communication :—

TA
Cancer cells don’t interact with other cells as normal cells
do. Normal cells respond to signals sent from other nearby
cells that say, essentially, “you’ve reached your boundary.”
G
When normal cells “hear” these signals they stop growing.
Cancer cells do not respond to these signals.
N
PI

Stickiness :—
EL

Normal cells secrete substances that make them stick

together in a group. Cancer cells fail to make these
H

substances, and can “float away” to locations nearby, or

through the bloodstream or system of lymph channels to
distant regions in the body.
55 | P a g e

Ability to Metastasize (Spread) :—

Normal cells stay in the area of the body where they

N
belong. For example, lung cells remain in the lungs. Cancer
cells, because they lack the adhesion molecules that cause

PA
stickiness, are able to travel via the bloodstream and
lymphatic system to other regions of the body—they have
the ability to metastasize.

TA
G
Appearance :—
N

Under a microscope, normal cells and cancer cells may

PI

look quite different. In contrast to normal cells, cancer cells

often exhibit much more variability in cell size—some are
larger than normal and some are smaller than normal. In
EL

addition, cancer cells often have an abnormal shape, both

of the cell, and of the nucleus (the “brain” of the cell.)
H

The rate of growth :—

56 | P a g e

Normal cells reproduce themselves and then stop when

enough cells are present. Cancer cells reproduce rapidly
before the cells have had a chance to mature.
Maturation :—
Normal cells mature. Cancer cells, because they grow
rapidly and divide before cells are fully mature, remain

N
immature. Doctors use the term undifferentiated to describe
immature cells (in contrast to differentiated to describe

PA
more mature cells.)
Evading the immune system :—

TA
When normal cells become damaged, the immune system
(via cells called lymphocytes) identifies and removes them.
Cancer cells are able to evade (trick) the immune system
long enough to grow into a tumor by either by escaping
G
detection or by secreting chemicals that inactivate immune
cells that come to the scene.
N

Functioning :—
PI

Normal cells perform the function they are meant to

perform, whereas cancer cells may not be functional. For
example, normal white blood cells help fight off infections.
EL

In leukemia, the number of white blood cells may be very

high, but since the cancerous white blood cells are not
functioning as they should, people can be more at risk for
infection even with an elevated white blood cell count.

QUESTION
Why is burning coal a major source of pollution?
Answer
66 | P a g e

Coal is chemically complex fuel. Whenever it is burned,

gases are given off and particles of ash, called "fly ash," are
released. Release of sulfur from burning into the air. The
sulfur in coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide,
which can be a major source of air pollution if emitted in
large enough quantities. This stuff comes back as acid rain
when it attaches itself to a raindrop.
