Question

Assertion (A): A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions.

Reason (R): The most commonly used bioreactors are of stirring type.

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).   

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).   

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.   

(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

Correct option is: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).  

The correct answer is (B), as both the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true that is, a bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions (temperature, pH, substrate, salts, vitamins, oxygen) and the most commonly used bioreactors are of stirring type not explains (A) correctly.
