Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The units of the specific growth rate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The growth of cells in a bioreactor is defined as the function,
Where X is the concentration of cells at any time t, X0 is the starting concentration of cells and µ is the specific growth rate.
It is assumed that the given equation is valid and therefore dimensionally homogeneous. So, the dimension of the left hand side and right hand side of the equation is equal. In addition, the exp () component is dimensionless.
(b)
Interpretation:
Give two ways to plot the data so as to obtain a straight line.
Concept introduction:
The growth of cells in a bioreactor is defined as the function,
Where X is the concentration of cells at any time t, X0 is the starting concentration of cells and µ is the specific growth rate.
(c)
Interpretation:
The data should be plotted, and specific growth rate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The growth of cells in a bioreactor is defined as,
The data is given as,
Time, t(h) | Yeast Concentration, X (g/L) |
0 | 0.01 |
4 | 0.048 |
8 | 0.152 |
12 | 0.733 |
16 | 2.457 |
(d)
Interpretation:
The time required for the yeast population to double should be determined.

- You have just started working in an Urgent Care Clinic as a nurse. Mom brings in her 3 year old little boy, Brandon. Mom states that Brandon has been having fever up to 104F and he isn't eating or drinking anything because he feels very sick to his stomach, not to mention crabby! He's also been pulling a lot at his right ear and sounds congested. At the last well visit with the Pediatrician (about 2 weeks ago), Mom states that Brandon weighed 32 pounds. On exam today, his weight is 12.5 kg. Additionally his eyes are darkened and sunken, his mouth is dry with some white crusting around the lips. His temperature is 39C, other vitals signs are normal. Though he looks ill he appears to be medically stable. The doctor rushes in, quickly exams Brandon, diagnoses him with otitis media and then barks off orders to you that you then need to convey accurately to Mom. The orders include: push fluids, ibuprofen 10mg/kg every 6 hours if temp > 38C, and begin taking a 10-day course of…arrow_forwardThe Ksp value for calcium sulfate [CaSO4] is 2.40 X 10-5 so if a professor made 1825 mL of a CaSO4lag) solution then how many grams of sulfate (SO42) ion would be present in this solution. 0.8345 gram SO42- ion 0.8588 gram SO42- ion 0.9331 gram SO42- ion 1.0036 gram SO42- ion 0.8921 gram SO42- ion 2.. 591..docx W- LAB EXP. #3 -.docx Show Allarrow_forwardTwo different proteins X and Y are dissolved in aqueous solution at 37 °C.

- Could you please provide the balanced chemical equation for the reactionarrow_forwardPLEASE help me with all parts of this problem. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS PREVIOUS TUTORS GOT IT WRONG.arrow_forwardA 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 35 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCL. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 570 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter). i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample. ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample. iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as % Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100 iv) state your answer in a complete sentence.arrow_forward
