BTE - Unit 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Aerobic Respiration | Metabolic pathways that use oxygen to generate ATP |
| Anaerobic metabolism | The chemical process of maintenance of cells without air or oxygen |
| Aseptic | Sterile, free from bacteria, viruses, and contaminants such as foreign DNA |
| Batch culture | A large-scale cell culture in which cell inoculum is cultured to a maximum density in a tank or airlift fermentor, harvested, and processed as a batch |
| Biomass | The dry weight of an organism or organisms. Can only be experimentally determined by completely drying (and therefore killing) the organism and then massing it on a balance |
| Bioreactor | A container used for bioprocessing |
| Bioprocessing | Using organisms or biologically derived macromolecules to carry out enzymatic reactions or to manufacture products |
| Carbohydrate | A compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with twice as many hydrogens as oxygens; sugar or starch |
| Chemostat | A growth chamber that keeps a bacterial culture at a specific volumeand rate of growth by limiting nutrient medium and removing spent culture |
| Enzymes | Proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions by causing or speeding up reactions without being changed in the process themselves |
| Fermentation | A process used to grow bacteria or yeasts in liquid culture |
| Fermenter | A bioreactor used to grow bacteria or yeasts in liquid culture |
| Fluid Power | Energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics |
| Glycolysis | The metabolic breakdown of glucose and other sugars that releases energy |
| Hydraulics | Uses pressurized liquid, for example, oil or water |
| Incubator | An apparatus in which environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can be controlled; often used for growing bacterial cultures |
| Media | A sterile preparation made for the growth, storage, maintenance, or transport of microorganisms or other cells |
| Molarity | Molar concentration of a solution, usually expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. |
| Oil Eating microbes | Bacteria that eat oil, hydrocarbons, and other contanimants |
| Pneumatics | Uses compressed air or other neutral gases |
| Process Engineer | The operator of a complex chemical or biological plant, person who works to improve the process by making it more efficient, easier, safet, etc. |
| Renewable Energy | Energy that is captured from on-going natural processes such as production of fuels such as ethanol from biomass |
| Scale Up | To take a biopharmaceutical manufacturing process from the laboratory scale to a scale at which it is commercially feasible |
| Substrate | A surface on which an organism grows or is attached |
