Your first task in the lab is to learn how to culture these cells and begin expanding the culture (increasing the # of cells) so that you may later conduct experiments on them. You take two aliquots, each with an equal number of cells, and place them in two different culture vessels, one is a sealed airtight flask (culture 1) and the other is an open topped culture dish (culture 2). You provide both with the same growth media that contains their preferred fuel source, glucose. Will one of these cultures (#1 or #2 as described above) need to have their media changed more frequently than the other? (Yes or No) If yes, which culture will need to have its media changed more often and why? If no, why not?
