A Newtonian fluid is one in which the viscosity
is constant regardless of the stirrer speed or mixing time
changes during mixing but returns to its original state after mixing
increases with increasing stirrer speed
decreases with increasing stirrer speed

Animal cell cultures do not have much effect on shear forces because
the cell size is generally smaller than the critical eddy size at which shear will have an effect
cells are larger than the critical eddy size at which shear will have an effect
animal cells have cell walls
animal cells have cell membranes
