The complete statement is this: CNIDARIA exhibit two radial body forms, the polyp and the medusa, and use stinging cells to capture prey.
Cnidaria is categorized under the Animalia kingdom. It is made up of more that eleven thousand species, which all live in aquatic habitats; either fresh or salt water environments. There are four basic classes of cnidarians, these are: Anthozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoan and Hydrozoa. Their common feature is the cnidocytes, which are specialized cells that they use to capture their preys.
Cnidaria have two radial body types, which are called polyp and medusa. They used cnidocytes (stinging cells) to capture the foods they feed on.
From what I can see in the picture, the cell appears that it would take up half of the microscopes view if it were to be pushed to the very edge on one side.
That would be the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, and half of 0.8 mm would be 0.4 mm. The length of the cell is about 0.4 mm.
Now for the width. Since the diameter of the FoV (field of view) is 0.8, we can see that the cell doesn't reach both sides of the circle it is in. It also doesn't appear to take up half of it. So, to get the aprox. width of the cell, we're going to half the radius.
Half of 0.4 mm is 0.2 mm, so the width of your cell is about 0.2 mm.
<u>Cell culture i</u>s the method applied by scientists to grown, cells in the laboratory setting to study the cells for particular reasons.
Explanation:
Cell culture is basically a method for survival, reproduction etc which are done under controlled conditions in the space outside the environment. This is also used for data mining.
Purpose: Cell culture is used for propagation of virus
Advantages:
- Vaccine production by replication of virus
- Detection of viral cell of virus
- Convenient easy and economical method
Disadvantages
- Maintenance of sterile aseptic conditions.
- Increases microbial contamination
- Cross contamination takes place
