Streptomycin is extracted from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter-current staged extraction unit. The

distribution coefficient of streptomycin at pH = 4 is KD = Yi/Xi = 40, and the flow rate of the aqueous (H) phase is H= 150 L/min. If only five extraction units are available to reduce the streptomycin concentration from 10 g/L in the aqueous phase to 0.2 g/L, determine the required flow rate of the organic phase (L) in the extraction unit.

Answer:

6.75l l/min

Explanation:

Streptomycin is extracted  from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter current staged extraction unit.

for 5 stage counter current staged extraction unit for streptomycin

X5 = 0.2g/l

X0 = 10.0g/l

X5/X0 = 0.02

given

Xn/X0, E, and

n = 5

A estimate of E  can be evaluated directly;

E = 1.8

= LKd/H

by substituting the given values; Kd = 40, H= 150l/min

then we have,

L;L = 1.8(150)/40

= 6.75l l/min

Coach Damien notices that some of his football players drink more water than others before Friday night games. He is interested
max2010maxim [7]

The independent variable is the amount of water consumed by the football players.

The dependent variable is the football players' endurance, measured by how many times they can run up and down the bleachers before catching their breaths.

The coach's hypothesis was that the more water consumed, the more endurance the players will have.

There is not a control group present in this experiment, but it would be the set of players who did not drink a bottle of water before practice.

The experimental group is the set of players who did drink a bottle of water before practice.

The constants in the experiment are the operational definitions of endurance (how he measures their endurance), the amount of water each player drinks throughout the week, and the players used in the experiment.

The lack of a set control group poses a threat to the accuracy of the experiment's results.

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red, axial flowers, and the other has white, terminal flowers
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>

From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.

Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).

Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB

Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb

AABB   x    aabb

F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial

At F2:

AaBb   x   AaBb

Progeny

<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>

<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>

<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>

<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>

Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.

Characteristics of the plasma membrane include which of the following? Select all that apply. cellulose phospholipids and protei
BigorU [14]

Answer;

-Phospholipids and protein

Explanation;

-The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back-to-back. It is also covered in places with cholesterol molecules and proteins. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable and regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

- The membrane is an extremely thin layer of lipids and protein that forms outer boundary of every cell, It controls movement of molecules between the cell and its environment, Participates in joining cells to form tissues and organs and also plays important role in the ability of a cell to respond to changes in the cell's environment.
