#Unit 12. Biochemical Engineering
  1. A) It generates low-shear axial flow to minimize mechanical damage to sensitive mammalian cells.
  2. B) It primarily serves to strip out metabolic CO2 without altering the specific interfacial area.
  3. C) It applies high shear to disperse large gas bubbles into fine microbubbles, drastically increasing the specific interfacial area.
  4. D) It increases the liquid film resistance  to protect microbial cells from oxygen toxicity.
