(b) normal cells don't like to make atp from glucose whereas cancer cells do
(c) advanced cancer cells are highly metabolic and use up excess glucose in glycolytic process hence leaving normal cells with little glucose for atp synthesis
(d) cancer cells prefer to make atp from glycolysis which is more efficient than etc
(e) none of these options are correct.
