The bioreactor shown in the diagram is:
1. | Sparged stirred tank type | 2. | Airlift type |
3. | Simple stirred tank type | 4. | Fluidized bed type |
Assertion (A): | The most commonly used bioreactors for biosynthesis are of stirring type. |
Reason (R): | A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
3. | (A) is False; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
I: | Bioreactors can be thought of as vessels in which raw materials are biologically converted into specific products, individual enzymes, etc., using microbial plant, animal or human cells. |
II: | A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions (temperature, pH, substrate, salts, vitamins, oxygen). |
III: | The most commonly used bioreactors are of stirring type. |
I: | even mixing of nutrients in the medium |
II: | oxygen availability throughout the bioreactor |
The downstream processing stage of rDNA does not involve:
1. | Biosynthesis | 2. | Separation |
3. | Purification | 4. | Preservation |
I: | occurs after the completion of the biosynthetic stage. |
II: | involves processes that make products ready for marketing as a finished product. |
Assertion (A): | Downstream processing is vital in biotechnology for the purification of products. |
Reason (R): | It ensures that the products are of high purity and quality, suitable for industrial and clinical use. |
