BPA is a chemical compound that has historically been used in themanufacture of plastic products. However, cells often mistake BPAcompounds for hormones that accelerate the cell cycle. Because ofthis, BPA is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.
Question: Why do you think that very small concentrations of BPA mighthave a large effect on the cell?
