Question

Match List-I with List-II: 

List-I (Equipment)		List-II (Function)
(A)	Sparger	(II)	Supply of Air
(B)	Impeller	(IV)	Mixing of Culture
(C)	Fermenter	(I)	Vessel for Microbial Growth
(D)	Autoclave	(III)	Sterilization

• A. \(A\text{-II},\ B\text{-IV},\ C\text{-I},\ D\text{-III}\)
• B. \(A\text{-III},\ B\text{-II},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-I}\)
• C. \(A\text{-I},\ B\text{-II},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-III}\)
• D. \(A\text{-IV},\ B\text{-III},\ C\text{-II},\ D\text{-I}\)

Hint:

Remember:
• Sparger \(\rightarrow\) Aeration
• Impeller \(\rightarrow\) Mixing
• Fermenter \(\rightarrow\) Microbial cultivation vessel
• Autoclave \(\rightarrow\) Sterilization

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Bioprocess and fermentation technology use specialized equipment for microbial cultivation, aeration, mixing, and sterilization. Important components include:
• Sparger
• Impeller
• Fermenter
• Autoclave

Step 1: Matching Sparger. A sparger is used for: \[ \text{Supply of air} \] into the fermenter medium to maintain aeration. Thus: \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Matching Impeller. An impeller is responsible for: \[ \text{Mixing of culture} \] and helps maintain uniform distribution of nutrients and oxygen. Thus: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Matching Fermenter. A fermenter acts as: \[ \text{Vessel for microbial growth} \] under controlled conditions. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Matching Autoclave. An autoclave is used for: \[ \text{Sterilization} \] using steam under pressure. Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Determining the correct combination. Therefore: \[ \boxed{ A\text{-II},\ B\text{-IV},\ C\text{-I},\ D\text{-III} } \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ A\text{-II},\ B\text{-IV},\ C\text{-I},\ D\text{-III}} \]
