The right answer is The cell will die.

Essential carbohydrate that serves as an energetic substrate for many cells of the body. if a mutation affects the cell so that it can no longer absorb glucose, it will have no energy to live and function, so it will systematically die. It will not be able to transform itself into a cancerous cell because firstly it is not a mutation that disrupts the cellular cycle or the repair of its DNA, secondly, for a cell to turn into a cancerous cell, it will need a lot of glucose, gold is not possible in this case.
