This type of reactor has reactants loaded in the beginning. As the reaction proceeds, more reactant is added. Once the reaction is complete, the reactor is emptied.
What is a semi-batch or fed-batch reactor?

This parameter is the proportionality between a chemical’s flux and its concentration gradient.
What is the diffusion coefficient?

Model used to describe the effect of substrate concentration on the specific growth rate as shown here
What is the Monod equation?

In this mass transfer process, solute moves from one liquid into another immiscible liquid.
What is liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)?

This class of enzymes cut DNA at palindromic sequences.
What are restriction endonucleases?
200
This common biopolymer or polynucleotide carries genetic material.
What is DNA?

These reptiles dominated the Earth from the Triassic to the Jurassic periods, a span of nearly 135 million years.
What are the Dinosaurs?

This process, discovered by Charles Goodyear, converts rubber to a more durable form by heating in the presence of sulfur.
What is Vulcanization?

The Argentinosaurus, which weighed nearly 200,000 lbs. was first discovered by Guillermo Heredia in this country.
What is Argentina?

Enzyme kinetics described by the following equation.
What are Michaelis-Menten kinetics?

This type of diffusion happens in small pores where the diameter is smaller than the mean-free path of the gas molecules.
What is Knudsen Diffusion?

The first dinosaurs, nearly 243 million years ago, walked on two legs, or this scientific term.
What is Bipedal?

This dimensionless number, given by τk for a first-order reaction, provides an estimate of the conversion in a CSTR.
What is the Damköhler number?
