Assertion (A): Bioreactors are utilized as large vessels to facilitate the biological conversion of raw materials into specific products such as vaccines, enzymes, hormones, and monoclonal antibodies.
Reason (R): Bioreactors play a crucial role in achieving the desired product by providing optimal growth conditions.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
Both A and R are false.
Bioreactors are indeed large vessels that are used in various industries, including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to facilitate the biological conversion of raw materials into specific products such as vaccines, enzymes, hormones and monoclonal antibodies. The reason (R) also accurately explains the purpose of bioreactors, as they are designed to provide optimum growth conditions for the microorganisms or cells involved in the production process. By controlling factors such as temperature, pH, oxygenation, and nutrient supply, bioreactors create an environment that promotes the growth and productivity of the organisms, leading to the desired product.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1 which states Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
