← ScienceWhich phenomenon complicates maintaining a constant freezing temperature during large-scale cryopreservation of biological tissues?
A)Latent heat evolution during phase transition✓
B)Non-uniform thermal conductivity variation
C)Supercooling effect causing ice crystal seeding
D)Increased viscosity during glass transition
💡 Explanation
During cryopreservation, latent heat is released during the liquid-to-solid phase transition as water crystallizes, warming the surrounding tissue and hindering uniform freezing. Therefore, latent heat evolution prevents constant temperature, rather than non-uniform conductivity, supercooling effects, or viscosity, which have different effects.
