Tumor stimulates development of its own blood supply

rank and order the sequence of events in the digestion and absorption of vitamin B 12

1. hydrochloric acid separates B12 from animal proteins 2. The stomach secretes intrinsic factor 3. B12 binds to intrinsic factor 4. the IF/B-12 complex enters the cells and the complex breaks apart 5. B-12 Binds to a carrier molecule for transport in the blood

choose the first and final step in cancer development and progression

1st- an inherited tendency triggers damage to the genes in a cell that control cell division final- tumor stimulates development of its own blood supply
