The introduction of amino acids into a cancer cell culture media will cause an upregulation of mTORC1 signaling and_______________? Group of answer choices Ribosome degradation Autophagy Protein synthesis Lipolysis and Fatty acid oxidation

The answer is protein synthesis. 

The protein complex known as mTOR, which is found in mammals, controls the metabolism and development of cells. One of the two primary mTOR complexes is called mTORC1. Energy, growth factors, and amino acids all work to activate it.

When amino acids are introduced into a cancer cell culture media, it will cause an upregulation of mTORC1 signaling. This will lead to an increase in protein synthesis, as well as other processes such as cell growth and division.
