Question 61. The function(s) of the draft tube in an airlift bioreactor is
  1.    to reduce bubble coalescence
  2.    to improve circulation
  3.    to even out shear conditions throughout the reactor
  4.    all of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of the above
Answer: (d).all of the above
Question 62. The high oxygen transfer efficiencies of airlift bioreactors is due to

  3.    the draft tube, which reduces bubble coalescence in the reactor
  4.    all of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of the above
Answer: (d).all of the above
Question 63. The function of a mechanical seal is to

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> both (a) and (b)
Answer: (c).both (a) and (b)

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> the stagewise uptake of nutrients
Answer: (d).the stagewise uptake of nutrients
Question 65. The phenomenon in which substrates are used in a sequential manner is known as
