accompanying enzymes and their respective co-factors. Several methods for pres- 

 entation of the subject were attempted. However, the most logical comparison of 

 the metabolism and composition of normal and neoplastic tissues may be made 

 by reference to the major biochemical groupings. Accordingly, the discussion is 

 presented on this basis, but with the full realization that the function of a cell or 

 tissue depends upon the reactions and interreactions of all the component 

 groups.
