The Study of Cells

Question 2 • Anatomy & Physiology A

What is cell culturing?

Answer

a technique that uses specific antibodies to visualize features of cells

a technique that visualizes how specific genes are used within a cell

a technique in which cells are purposefully grown under specific conditions

an imaging technology used to study features smaller than the human eye can see

Explanation

Cell culturing means growing cells in a controlled environment with chosen conditions, such as a suitable nutrient medium and temperature. Therefore, the correct choice is “a technique in which cells are purposefully grown under specific conditions.” The other choices describe antibody-based visualization, gene-expression analysis, or microscopy.
