Answer to Question 1

3. Metastasized, and there is lymph node involvement.

Rationale:
T refers to the depth of invasion, N refers to the absence or presence of and extent of lymph node involvement, M refers to presence of metastasis. The numbers range from 0-4 with higher numbers indicating increased size and metastasis. Stage IV indicates metastasis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The use of food or glucose for cellular energy occurs via metabolic pathways that use oxygen. This is called aerobic metabolism. The use of alternate metabolic pathways in the absence of oxygen is referred to as anaerobic metabolism.
