Question

Assertion :In a bioreactor, temperature, pH, substrate, salts, vitamins, and oxygen are maintained. Reason: They are added to maintain the proper growth of the organism and to achieve desired product optimally.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

A bioreactor is a device that supports a biologically active environment.

The environmental conditions of a bioreactor, including gas flow rates, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen levels and agitation rate all need to be closely monitored and controlled.

Bioreactors support the natural process of cells by trying to maintain their environment to provide optimum growth conditions by providing appropriate temperature, pH, substrates, salts, vitamins and oxygen and achieve the desired product.

So, the answer is A.
