The term specific activity differs from the term activity in that specific activity:

A) is measured only under optimal conditions.
B) is the activity (enzyme units) in a milligram of protein.
C) is the activity (enzyme units) of a specific protein.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (Abbreviated as VEGF and pronounced "Veg-F") is a peptide-signaling molecule related to platelet-derived growth factor

VEGF is important in the formation of the circulatory system because its signaling pathway causes the formation of new blood vessels in developing embryos during normal development. It also causes the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors when the tumor produces and secretes VEGF. Given what you know about the different kinds of cell signaling and about VEGF, which of the following is true? What will be an ideal response?
