The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A device in which large volume of living cells are cultured in order to get a specific product is called," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question is asking for a specific device used for culturing living cells in large volumes to produce a particular product. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: PCR** - This stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, which is a technique used for amplifying DNA, not for culturing cells. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Agitator** - An agitator is a device used to stir liquids. It does not refer to a device specifically designed for culturing cells. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Option 3: Bioreactor** - A bioreactor is a large vessel where living cells are cultured under controlled conditions to produce specific products, such as proteins or metabolites. This option fits the description given in the question. - **Option 4: Assimilator** - This term does not refer to a device used for culturing cells and is therefore incorrect. 3. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 3: Bioreactor**. ### Final Answer: The device in which large volumes of living cells are cultured to obtain a specific product is called a **bioreactor**. ---

Fuel cells : Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel cell is directly converted into electrical energy. A type of fuel cell is a hydrogen - oxygen fuel cell. It consists of two electrodes made up of two porous graphite impregnated with a catalyst ( platinum, silver, or metal oxide ). The electrodes are placed in aqueous solution of NaOH . Oxygen and hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(o+) which is neutralized by overset(c-)(O)H, i.e., anodic reaction. At cathode, O_(2) gets reduced to overset(c-)(O)H Hence, the net reaction is The overall reaction has DeltaH=-285.6 kJ mol^(-1) and DeltaG=-237.4 kJ mol^(-1) at 25^(@)C If the cell voltage is 1.23V for the H_(2)-O_(2) fuel cell and for the half cell :
