Question

A mutation occurs that prevents a cell from taking in the glucose that it needs for energy production. What is most likely to happen?

Answer 1

The cell will die. Because if the cell can not take the glucose and it can not get energy from it. So the activities that can support the normal life of the cell will not continue.

Answer 2

The glucose deprivation will induce cell death.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose produces the energy that the cell needs for its growth and development athrough the oxidative phosphorylation pathway inside the mitochondria. Glucose is therefore, essential for the cell survival because without energy the cell is not able to perform its metabolic activities and sustain itself. Without energy the cell is destined to die.
