What is the Use of sodium acetate in microbial fuel cell?
Sodium acetate can be used as a carbon source in microbial fuel cells to provide a substrate for microbial growth and electron transfer. The acetate is metabolized by the microbes, generating electrons that can be transferred to an electrode to produce electricity. Sodium acetate can therefore enhance the performance and efficiency of microbial fuel cells.
How do microbial fuel cells work to generate electricity from organic matter?
Microbial fuel cells generate electricity by harnessing the metabolic activity of microorganisms to break down organic matter. The microorganisms consume the organic matter and release electrons as byproducts. These electrons are then captured by an electrode, creating an electric current that can be used as a source of power.
Use of phosphate buffer in microbial fuel cell?
Phosphate buffer is commonly used in microbial fuel cells to help maintain a stable pH level within the system, as it acts as a buffer solution and resists pH changes. This is important for ensuring optimal microbial activity and performance of the fuel cell. Additionally, phosphate can serve as a nutrient source for the microbes in the system, promoting their growth and metabolic activity.
Can you use hydrogen peroxyde in a fuel cell?
Hydrogen peroxide can be used in certain types of fuel cells called direct borohydride fuel cells. In these fuel cells, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant in place of oxygen. However, the efficiency and practicality of using hydrogen peroxide in fuel cells is still being researched and developed.
What is the only waste product from fuel cells?
water vapour
What is the difference between Benthic Microbial Fuel Cell Microbial Fuel Cells Is there a difference?
Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells are basically a microbial fuel cell. Instead of the anode being placed deep into sediment [MFC]- the anode is placed in a chamber where monitored amounts of neutrients/fresh water can enter and be controlled [BFMC]
How nuclear power and microbial fuel cells work?
photosynthesis

Why you use yeast in microbial fuel cell?
uh
Are viral paricles smaller than microbial cells?
Yes.
Explain how hypertonicity can be used as a means of controlling microbial growth?
Hypertonicity can be used to control microbial growth by creating a high-salt or high-sugar environment that causes water to leave microbial cells, leading to dehydration and cell death. This process disrupts the microbial cells' ability to function properly and inhibits their growth and reproduction.
What are immobilized cells?
microbial or other cells can be immobilised by calcium alginate as in case of immobilised enzymes. these cells are entrapped in gel and are immobilised and have different applications
Why can human genes be expressed in microbial cells?
cause, we are awesome!! sorry really dont know.
How are fuel cells categorized?
explain how fuel cells are commonly categorized
Why do antibiotics usually affect microbial cells and not host cells?
Antibiotics typically target features unique to microbial cells, such as bacterial cell walls, ribosomes, or metabolic pathways that are not present in human cells. For example, many antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes that differ from those in human cells. Additionally, the structural differences in cell membranes and the presence of specific enzymes allow antibiotics to selectively disrupt microbial functions without harming host cells. This selective targeting minimizes damage to the host while effectively combating bacterial infections.
