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.

Hint:

Bioreactors help mass production of biologics by maintaining parameters like pH, oxygen, and temperature.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

While both the assertion and the reason are true, the reason is not a direct explanation for the assertion. Stirring-type bioreactors are common, but they are only one design feature among many for maintaining optimum growth conditions.
