Streptomycin is extracted from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter-current staged extraction unit. The

distribution coefficient of streptomycin at pH = 4 is KD = Yi/Xi = 40, and the flow rate of the aqueous (H) phase is H= 150 L/min. If only five extraction units are available to reduce the streptomycin concentration from 10 g/L in the aqueous phase to 0.2 g/L, determine the required flow rate of the organic phase (L) in the extraction unit.

Answer:

6.75l l/min

Explanation:

Streptomycin is extracted  from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter current staged extraction unit.

for 5 stage counter current staged extraction unit for streptomycin

X5 = 0.2g/l

X0 = 10.0g/l

X5/X0 = 0.02

given

Xn/X0, E, and

n = 5

A estimate of E  can be evaluated directly;

E = 1.8

= LKd/H

by substituting the given values; Kd = 40, H= 150l/min

then we have,

L;L = 1.8(150)/40

= 6.75l l/min

What should i know about proteins?​
katrin [286]

Proteins  are unbranched polymers constructed from 22 standard α-amino acids.

The protein show four levels of structural organisation; the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure.

The structure of proteins are stabilized by peptide bonds between the amino acid and hydrogen bond between the peptide chainds.

The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids, but secondary and tertiary structures of protein define their natural or native conformation.

The solubility of protein varies according to the pH, ionic strength, nature of solvent, temperature etc.

Proteins can be classified as simple proteins or conjugated proteins on the basis of their composition.

The proteins can also be classified as fibrous proteins or globular proteins on the basis of their shape.

Proteins play a major part in body structure and function as most of the molecules like antibodies, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, myoglobin ,most of the enzymes are proteins.

So proteins are also called building blocks of the body.

Write down the names of two organelles that work together to provide a cell with energy so that it can function properly.
EastWind [94]
In an animal cell, Mitochondria alone provides energy required to carry out all life essential cellular activities like synthesis of substance, disposal, Synthesis of protein,etc, by converting food into energy rich molecules called ATP.

Whereas in case of a plant cell, Chloroplast along with Mitochondria generates energy for the cell. Chloroplast in the plant cell uses sunlight to synthesis energy through the process of light and dark reaction simultaneously.
