Cancer cells derive nutrition from:

A
Anaerobic glycolysis
B
Oxidative phosphorylation
C
Increase in mitochondria
D
Aerobic Glycolysis
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. D. Aerobic glycolysis(Ref: Harper 31/e page 695) (Harrison 19/e page 102 e-13)Many cancer cells use aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) to metabolize glucose leading to increased lactic acid production, where as normal cells use oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria under aerobic conditions, a much more efficient process.
