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? a tumor will form. the cell will divide uncontrollably. the cell will die. nutrients are stolen from normal cells nearby.

Explanation:

Glucose is crucial for cellular energy production via processes like cellular respiration. Without glucose, the cell lacks the energy - source needed to function properly and will most likely die. Tumor formation and uncontrolled cell division are related to mutations in genes regulating cell growth, not directly to glucose uptake issues. Stealing nutrients from nearby cells is not the most immediate consequence of glucose - uptake failure.

Answer:

The cell will die.
