Currently, most organs that are harvested for transplant are transported from the donor to the recipient packed in ice and must be implanted within a matter of hours. How is organ culture an improvement on this transport method?

Answer:

the correct answer is : Cultured organs can be kept alive for several weeks before transplant.

Step-by-step explanation:

organ outside the body does not behaves in the same way as they do inside the body. these organs can be kept alive only when they are put into a culture solution, which can increase the shelf life of the organs by few weeks. it also reduces the chance of organ rejection. cultured organs can be kept alive for several weeks before transplant.
