Well, Hela cells are basically immortal cell line . They will keep growing if they are provided with appropriate media (e.g DMEM,10 % FCS/FBS & antibiotic). Moreover , you should also check for the cellular confluence, if its higher than 90 % then your cells start to die and you need to harvest them again.

What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?

Single celled organisms are examples of living cells that are organisms. Most other living cells are parts of living organisms, but could not survive long on their own.


What is the highest tempeture could a human survive?

Human cells start to die at 106 Fahrenheit although the body may survive at higher temperatures. Short exposure up to 131 Fahrenheit is possible as long as dehydration is avoided


Does nucleus interact with another organelle?

Eukaryote cells CAN survive without a nucleus, but only for short amounts of time, like cloning for example. They could not survive long term without a nucleus. So if you are talking short term: yes If you are talking long term: no (:


Can human cells live independently outside the body?

There are many uni-cellular organisms which are single celled and survive independently without depending on other cells. If your question is Can a Human cell survive out of Human body? Yes, the human cells can survive out of human body if all the nutrition and the other factors which keep the cell to function are provided to the cell. multi-cellular organisms are made up of tissues of different kinds and organs which are inter-dependent for nutrition and survival. So if the cells are removed from human body, it will survive till the nutrition gets exhausted. There are many scientific methods by which the nutrition and other required substances are provided to the cells which are taken from human body and stored for long periods. The cells are also made to multiply outside the body and it is known as cell-culture or tissue culture.


Could elodea or paramecium from a fresh water lake be expected to survive if transported into the ocean?

This is unlikely, as osmosis would result in water's flowing out of the cells, upsetting the normal balances in the cytoplasm. The elodia cells become plasmolysed. Cells can sometimes be rehydrated in fresh water if they are not left too long, but they would be severely compromised if left in the salt water.

Does apple cider vinegar with mother contain apple stem cells that stimulate collagen regeneration?

No. Stem cells are rather fragile, and do not survive for long outside the plant. Any remaining stem cells would die during the fermenting process of vinegar.

How long can humans survive with low oxygen saturation?

Depends on how low you are talking. Yes some people can survive with relatively low oxygen saturations, by compensating in other ways (ie increase the number of red blood cells).

Eukaryote cells CAN survive without a nucleus, but only for short amounts of time, like cloning for example. They could not survive long term without a nucleus. So if you are talking short term: yes If you are talking long term: no (:
