Question

Primary plant cells are better formed aggregates than animal cells.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in exam.

My question is from Methods Used for the Cultivation of Animal Cells in chapter Bioprocess Considerations in Using Animal Cell Cultures of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

To elaborate: Unlike plant cells, primary mammalian cells do not normally form aggregates, but grow in the form of monolayers on support surfaces such as glass surfaces of flasks. Using the proteolytic enzyme trypsin, individual cells in a tissue can be separated to form single-cell cultures.
