Cells and Organelles

Cancer researchers have developed a new chemotherapy drug called quinacycline. It specifically disrupts the function of the mitochondria in cancer cells. How would this kill the cancer cells?

• Cancer cells would not be able to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.

• Cancer cells would not be able to create enough energy.

• Cancer cells would not be able to build proteins. 

• Cancer cells would not be able to detoxify toxins. 

• Cancer cells would not be able to store calcium ions.
