B
In cells
C
In living organisms
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'in vitro': In vitro refers to experiments conducted outside of a living organism, typically in a controlled environment like a test tube or petri dish.
Identify the environments where in vitro experiments can occur: These include test tubes, petri dishes, or any laboratory equipment that allows for the study of biological processes outside of a living organism.
Recognize the environments where in vitro experiments do not occur: In vitro experiments do not take place within living organisms, as this would be considered 'in vivo' experimentation.
Analyze the options given: 'In a tube' and 'In cells' both refer to environments outside of a living organism, suitable for in vitro experiments.
Conclude which option does not fit the in vitro description: 'In living organisms' is not an environment for in vitro experiments, as it involves studying processes within a living system, which is characteristic of in vivo experiments.
