The addition of ions and sugars added to the fermentation increases the oxygen solubility?

The addition of ions and sugars added to the fermentation increases the oxygen solubility? Correct Answer False

Oxygen solubility is decreased by the ions and sugars normally added to fermentation media. In a typical fermentation medium, oxygen solubility is between 5% and 25% lower than in water as a result of solute effects. In simple systems, with all the components being dissolved, C0 represents the oxygen solubility and linearly decreases with increasing solute concentrations. In complex solutions with multi-phase structure an increase in C0 can be detected. It suggests that C0 consists of two components — one being oxygen solubility, the other being determined by the amount of oxygen adsorbed on the interphase and bound by macromolecules. The presence of biomass leads to a decrease in C0.

Mr.Rohan while helping the students of Class IV in adding and subtracting fractions observed that several students are not able to complete the addition of two improper fractions. He gave a small test with questions from the addition of proper fractions (one item of addition of two similar fractions, three items from the addition of proper and improper fractions, and four items from the addition of improper fractions). He analyzed the responses of each student and found that nearly 45% of students were not clear in adding proper with improper fractions which were affecting their performance in adding two improper fractions. He, therefore, focused on developing the understanding of improper fractions and their addition with proper fractions after which he proceeded to teach the addition of two improper fractions. Which kind of assessment is depicted by this situation?
