Question:
The oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in a bioprocess is dependent on:
The oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in a bioprocess is dependent on:
Show Hint
To optimize OUR in a bioprocess, focus on maintaining healthy cell density and proper metabolic conditions.
Updated On: Jun 18, 2025
- Substrate concentration only
- Cell density and metabolic activity
- Agitation rate only
- Temperature alone
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The oxygen uptake rate in a bioprocess depends on both cell density and metabolic activity, as these factors influence the rate at which cells consume oxygen during their growth and metabolism.
