Question

transformed eukaryotic cells utilize glucose at a higher rater than normal cells. you have isolated two transformed cell lines (a and b) and incubate cell homogenates with glucose labeled with C14 in the 1,3,4, or 6 positions to measure the initial rates of the radioactive labeled CO2 production. If cell line A metabolizes glucose primarily by the HMP shunt, and cell line B metabolizes glucose primarily by glycolysis, what will be the pattern of the radimetrically labeled CO2 formation from radioactive glucose?

A. Cell line A will convert Carbon 1 and carbon 6 to Co2 that will be radiometrically labeled and cell line B will produce labeled CO2 from all four substrates

b. Cell line A will convert Cabon 3 and carbon 4 to Co2 that will be radiometrically labeled and cell line B will convert Carbons 6 and carbons 4 to radiometrically labeled Co2

c. Cell line A and cell line B will produce radiometrically labeled CO2 from all four substrates

d. Cell line A will convert Carbon 1 to radiometrically labeled Co2 and cell line be will convert Carbons 3 and 4 to radiometrically labeled CO2

e. Cell line A will convert Carbon 3 and carbon 4 to radiometrically labeled Co2 and cell line b will convert carbon 6 to radiometrically labeled Co2.

Answer 1

from the above explanation in the images, the answer should be option three.
