It is true that our blood contains CO2, usually around 40mmHg, which is close to 5%. The importance in mammalian cell culture is the same as in mammalian blood. The majority of CO2 exists in the blood in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3-) which acts as a pH buffer to allow for gas, nutrient and metabolites fluctuations without causing wild pH changes. By providing a 5% CO2 overlay in a cell culture process you are ensuring that you will roughly maintain 5% dissolved CO2 (HCO3-) in solution. As cells release CO2, lactate and other pH affecting ions the CO2 concentration in solution will deviate from 5% forcing CO2 into or out of the atmosphere to maintain the balance between the two. For more information on why these systems strive to reach equilibrium research "Henry's Law."
"Our body contains 5 % CO2. So when we are culturing the cells it's needed and moisture and pH is important for cell culture it will maintain the same"

What parameters are required for growth of cells in animal cell culture?
The correct density of cells, the correct environment (temp and co2) and the proper culture media containing the appropriate nutrients and usually an antibiotic.
What is a cell culture how can A cell culture be useful to biologist?
A cell culture is where cells are grown under controlled conditions.
What is waste elimination in a cell?
CO2
What body function does co2 do?
Stimulation of respiration.
What you mean by stem cell culture?
The stem cell "culture" is the medium in which the stem cell is able to divide and grow.
Is a cell a function?
Cell function is to produce lipid compounds and to breakdown glucose to CO2 and H2O.
Why do you keep cells at 5 percent CO2 concerning cell cultures?
This is usually done in mammalian cell cultures, as our bodies contain 5% CO2 as well. Having the concentration of CO2 at physiological conditions helps control the pH of the culture, preventing it from becoming too alkaline.
What is the function of cellulose cell wall?
It is a rigid complex carbohydrate that gives the cell wall its toughness, and provides the rigidity to the plant that allows it to compete for sunlight and CO2.
What dose a cell biologist study?
A cell biologist study about the content and structure of the cell. how cell function to make tissues.Now days they are also involved in artificial cell culture.
What is the function of a typical cell of the respiratory passage lining?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to provide for the exchange of respiratory gases(O2, CO2) between the organism and the environment.
What parameters are required for growth of cells in animal cell culture?
The correct density of cells, the correct environment (temp and co2) and the proper culture media containing the appropriate nutrients and usually an antibiotic.
What are the importance and function of culture?
what are the important and function of culture
What is the function of CO2 snuffing system?
The function of a CO2 snuffing system is to prevent fires. A fire produces CO2, so bathing it in excess CO2 will cause the reaction to move in the opposite direction.
What is the function of a choloroplasts?
It makes food for the plant cell. Also only in the plant cell.
What is a cell culture how can A cell culture be useful to biologist?
A cell culture is where cells are grown under controlled conditions.
What is a cell culture and how can a cell culture be useful to biologists?
A cell culture is where cells are grown under controlled conditions.
What is a cell culture how can cell culture be useful to biologists?
A cell culture is where cells are grown under controlled conditions.
