Let's list the given options alphabetically to choose the appropriate answer.

One reason cancer cells are easier to culture than normal cells extracted from an organism is that ________. Group of answer choices

A. cancer cells grow in a more regulated fashion.

B. cancer cells do not need to adhere to a substratum to grow.

C. nutrient requirements for cancer cells are precisely defined.

D. cancer cells are better models for demonstrating what happens in an intact organism

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancer cells are easier to culture in comparison to normal cells because cancer cells do not need to adhere to a substratum to grow.

As cancer cells are uncontrolled growth of cells and they do not require any substratum to grow and can easily grow to a culture while a normal cell require optimal conditions to grow in a culture.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
