Correct answer: C. Bioreactors

  • A. Thermocycler
  • B. Biopole
  • C. Bioreactors
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Bioreactors are vessels that have been designed and produced to provide an effective environment for enzymes or whole cells to transform biochemicals into products. In some cases, inactivation of cells or sterilization is carried out in the bioreactor such as in water treatment. It is possible to produce millions of somatic embryos at once in large tanks called bioreactors. This is done for certain vegetables like tomato, celery, asparagus and for ornamental plants like lilies, begonias and African violets.
