A fermentation slurry containing Streptomyces kanamyceticus cells is filtered using a continuous rotary vacuum filter. 120 kg h^{- 1} slurry is fed to the filter; 1 kg slurry contains 60 g cell solids. To improve filtration rates, particles of diatomaceous-earth filter aid are added at a rate of 10 kg h^{- 1}. The concentration of kanamycin in the slurry is 0.05% by weight. Liquid filtrate is collected at a rate of 112 kg h^-1; the concentration of kanamycin in the filtrate is 0.045% (w/w). Filter cake containing cells and filter aid is continuously removed from the filter cloth.

 What percentage liquid is the filter cake?

Cyanogenic Glycosides and Glucosinolates are nitrogen containing secondary metabolites in plants. Following are some statements regarding the action of Cyanogenic Glycosides and Glucosinolates;

a) Cyanogenic Glycosides release the poison hydrogen cyanide by the action of enzyme known as Hydroxynitrile lyase

b) Release of the mustard-smelling volatiles from glucosinolates is catalyzed by a hydrolytic enzyme, called a thioglucosidase or myrosinase

c) substerate for Glycosidase is Cyanogenic glycoside and Thioglucosidase is Aglycone

d) Like cyanogenic glycosides, glucosinolates are stored in the intact plant separately from the enzymes that hydrolyze them, and they are brought into contact with these enzymes only when the plant is crushed

Which of the following combinations of above statement is true?
