Question

What is an advantage of using cell culture rather than bacterial culture to produce biological molecules? Cell culture can be used to produce fat-soluble vitamins. Cell culture can be used to produce steroid hormones. Cell culture can be used to produce clones. Cell culture can be used to produce complex proteins.

Answer 1

Ans.

Cell culture is defined as a group of cells (eukaryotic cells), which is developed from a single parent cell, while the bacterial culture is group of bacterial cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that cannot synthesize most of the complex eukaryotic proteins.

This is because, bacteria cells do not have membrane bound organelles for proper protein folding and they show limited post-transnational modifications. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells can form such complex proteins.

Thus, the correct answer is option). cell culture can be used to produce complex proteins.

Answer 2

Cell culture can be used to produce complex proteins.
