Question

Uninhibited growth occurs in a defect in the animal cell media because

• A. It is an energy source
• B. It is a carbon source for nucleic acid for synthesis
• C. It is an energy and carbon source for cell culture
• D. Cells cannot produce it

Hint:

• Uninhibited growth is linked to missing regulatory factors (e.g., growth inhibitors).
• Nutrient roles (a-c) are unrelated to loss of growth control.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Uninhibited growth often occurs due to the absence of regulatory factors in the media that cells cannot produce themselves, leading to loss of growth control. The other options describe nutrient roles but do not explain uninhibited growth. \[ \boxed{\text{Cells cannot produce it}} \]
