Basically, regular cells, otherwise known as somatic cells, abide by these two inhibitors. A normal, healthy somatic cell will grow and divide until it meets an impassible barrier, such as the edge of a petri dish. This is density dependent inhibition. Such cells also have to be touching some kind of surface in order for the cell to begin to divide. This is known as anchorage dependency. Both of these relate to cancer cells as these cell do not follow these two rules. The cells will continue to divide until they are killed, as they do not follow any of these inhibitors.

As a patch of scraped skin heals the cells fill in the injured area but do not grow beyond that This is an example of density-independent inhibition. density-dependent inhibition. anchorage indepe?

This phenomenon is an example of density-independent inhibition, where the cells stop proliferating once the wound is healed and do not continue to grow beyond the needed replacement. Density-dependent inhibition refers to cells stopping proliferation when in contact with neighboring cells, and anchorage independence is the ability of cells to grow without adhering to a surface.


You are asked to culture an unidentified sample of animal tissue you notice that cells seem to fail to exhibit density-dependent inhibition the source of this tissue sample is most likely?

The tissue sample is most likely cancerous. Cancer cells often lose the ability to exhibit density-dependent inhibition, which is a characteristic feature of normal cells that regulate their growth based on the availability of space. Loss of density-dependent inhibition is a hallmark of cancer cells, allowing them to continue dividing uncontrollably without regard to surrounding cells.


Do cells tend to continue dividing when they come into contact with other cells?

Cells tend to stop dividing when they come into contact with other cells through a process called contact inhibition. This is a mechanism that helps regulate cell growth and prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uncontrolled cell division and potentially cancerous growth.


Is photosynthetic oxygen production light-dependent?

Yes, photosynthetic oxygen production is light-dependent.


What is a dependent viriable?

A dependent variable is the outcome that is being measured or tested in an experiment or study. It is influenced by the independent variable, which is the variable that is manipulated. The dependent variable is what researchers are trying to understand or predict based on the changes in the independent variable.

What is a inhibition?

A density dependent inhibition is when cells become more and more numerous, the required growth factors and nutrients become insufficient making cell growth difficult.


Is there a phobia name for the fear of having to be dependent on oneself?

I couldn't find a definition for the fear of being dependent on oneself, but, to have a fear of dependence on others is Soteriophobia. If we take this to the next logical step, then, the fear of NOT being dependent on others, ergo, fear of dependence on oneself could be Antisoteriophobia

What are anchorage dependent cells?

Anchorage-dependent cells are cells that require attachment to a solid surface or extracellular matrix to grow and proliferate. These cells rely on contact with a substrate for survival and function properly only when attached to a surface. Examples include fibroblasts and epithelial cells.
