Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Cancerous cells exhibit anaplasia, which is a loss of cellular differentiation and organization that leads to a loss of their ability to function normally. Angiogenesis refers to the abnormal cells releasing enzymes that generate blood vessels in the area to supply both oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Cancerous cells exhibit autonomy, which is the ability to grow without the usual homeostatic restrictions that regulate cell growth and control. Metastasis is the process of the cancerous cells traveling from the place of origin to develop new tumors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Benazepril, enalapril, and fosinopril are generally well tolerated but cause an unrelenting cough, possibly related to adverse effects in the lungs, where the angiotensin-converting enzyme is inhibited, which may lead patients to discontinue the drug. This persistent cough develops in approximately 10 to 20 of patients.
