Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to high density for
production of polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred tank,
containing initially 100 litres medium. The maximum specific growth rate of the
culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield of biomass from substrate is 0.5 g
g-l. The concentration of growth-limiting substrate in the medium is
3% (w/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g l- 1 cells and
operated in batch until the substrate is virtually exhausted; medium flow is
then started at a rate of 4 l d-1. Fed-batch operation occurs under
quasi-steady-state conditions. Estimate the batch culture time. ____________________

In light reaction, the funneling of excitation from the antenna system toward the reaction centre has been shown,
a.) The excited-state energy of pigments increases with distance from the reaction centre; that is, pigments closer to the reaction centre are lower in energy than those farther from the reaction centre
b.) The energy gradient ensures that excitation transfer toward the reaction centre is energetically favorable and that excitation transfer back out to the peripheral portions of the antenna is energetically unfavourable
c.) Some energy is lost as heat to the environment by this process, but under optimal conditions almost all the excitation energy absorbed in the antenna complexes can be delivered to the reaction centre
d.) The excited-state energy of pigments decreases with distance from the reaction centre
Which of the following above combination is true?
