(a) Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-light cycle if ONLY photosynthesis is taking place during the daytime (i.e. no respiration). Support your explanation using information about the processes that are occurring in the flask. (b) Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-dark cycle. You can assume that respiration IS taking place at night. Support your explanation using information about the processes that are occurring in the flask.

A 10-L stirred tank is used to cultivate mouse myeloma cells. Dry air is sparged from the bottom at 1.0 L/min to supply oxygen to the system. The gas composition at the outler is 16% oxygen, 3.5% CO2, 6.5% water vapor, and balanced nitrogen. The ambient pressure and temperature are 1 atm and 37 °C, respectively. The dissolved oxygen in the reactor is controlled at 20% of saturation with ambient air. a. Assuming the reactor is at a steady-state, what is the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa)? b. The specific OUR of myeloma cells is 5*10-11 mmol/cell*h. What is the cell concentration? c. What is the respiratory quotinent (RQ) (i.e., mole CO2 produced/mol O2 consumed)? Assume that the mole fraction of CO2 in the ambient air is negligible. The universal gas constant R = 0.082 L*atm/mol*K
Lab students placed ten spinach leaf disks in each of three test tubes containing a baking soda solution and a control tube without baking soda. The volume of liquid in each tube and the temperature of the solutions were held constant. All tubes were placed an equal distance from a light source as indicated in the accompanying table. After 10 minutes, the amount of oxygen present in each sample was measured.

Absorbance is directly proportional to glucose concentration for both routine clinical glucose spectrophotometry methods: glucose oxidase method and the hexokinase method. For each one, name the final product measured in each test reaction, which is proportional to the sample glucose concentration. A.) glucose oxidase: B.) hexokinase:
A glucose solution is supplied in a repeated fed batch culture. The following parameters have been measured at t=2.5 hours; the system was under a quasi-steady state at this time. V = 1.0L, F = 0.22L/hr, S_0 = 98g/L, mu_m = 0.31/hr, K_s = 0.14 g-glucose/L, YM_X/S = 0.48 g-cells/g-glucose, Xt_0 = 33g (1) Calculate the value of V0 and S. (2) Calculate the value of Xt for t = 2.5hrs.

Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…
A microorganism is grown in a fermenter under steady-state conditions. The microorganism growth follows Monod kinetics and the following stoichiometric equation: C3H6O3 +a O2 +b NH3 → c biomass + d CO2 + e H₂O Given that the biomass yield is 0.415 grams of biomass per gram of substrate, determine the respiratory quotient.
In cultivation of E.coli strain in a batch stirred and aerated tank, a static gassing out technique method was employed to determine the oxygen transfer coefficient (k̟a) for the bioreactor. After purging the oxygen with nitrogen gas, continuous air supply at air flow rate of 0.1 v.v.m. and impeller speed of about 250 rpm was initiated. Increase in the dissolved oxygen concentration upon the continuous air sparging is recorded by a dissolved oxygen (DO) probe. Using the following data, determine the oxygen transfer coefficient (ka) for the bioreactor. Saturation DO concentration is C*=9 mg/l Time (minute) Cl (mg/l) 1 1 2 3 2.5 4 3 5 4 6.5 5 7.2
