Q. Stirred-tank bioreactors have advantages over shake flasks because they
A) Provide high temperature and pH
B) Provide better aeration and mixing properties
C) Do not allow the entry of $CO_{2}$
D) Are easy to operate
Explanation
A stirred-tank bioreactor is more advantageous, than shake flasks. It has an agitator system to mix the contents properly, an oxygen delivery system to make availability of oxygen, a foam control system, a temperature control system, a $pH$ control system and a sampling port to withdraw the small volumes of the culture periodically
