Freezing and thawing can destroy the cells, and this is not a processed used to preserve them. They can be preserved by cryopreservation by lowering the temperature to -196F.

The impact of freezing temperatures on living cells?

Freezing causes the water inside living cells to form sharp crystals. These crystals puncture and destroy the cellular organelles and membrane. Certain animals have 'cryoprotectants' that help reduce the damage caused by freezing.


What is meant by chemical freezing cells?

Chemical freezing cells refers to a process in which specific chemicals, often cryoprotectants, are used to prevent the formation of ice crystals during the freezing of biological cells. This technique helps preserve the integrity and viability of cells, tissues, or organs by minimizing damage that can occur due to ice crystal formation. Common cryoprotectants include dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol, which lower the freezing point and stabilize cellular structures during the freezing and thawing processes. This method is widely used in biobanking and regenerative medicine.

What is freezing and how does it affect plants?

Freezing is the process in which water turns into ice due to low temperatures. When plants are exposed to freezing temperatures, the water inside their cells can freeze, causing the cells to expand and potentially burst. This can damage the plant's tissues and lead to wilting, browning, and ultimately death of the plant.
