      Hi Ruby!

      Thanks for your question! The cells that I have in the lab are alive, like the cells inour body and they need proteins and glucose and oxygen just like them. In the lab we use some medium which is a liquid that has everything the cells need. I add that liquid to the cells and then every couple of days I change it to make sure the cells get fresh nutrients to keep on working!
