1.

The immobilized cells have different temperature gradient.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in a national level competition.This question is from Internal Mass Transfer and Reaction topic in portion Heterogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) False

Explanation: Kinetic PARAMETERS for enzyme and cell reactions are strong FUNCTIONS of temperature. If temperature in the particle varies, different VALUES of the kinetic parameters must be applied. However, as temperature GRADIENTS generated by immobilised cells and enzymes are generally negligible, ASSUMING constant temperature throughout the particle is reasonable.
