Question

Which of the following type of yield is referred to as “Maximum possible yields”?

(a) Instantaneous yields

(b) Theoretical yields

(c) Observed yields

(d) Non- instantaneous yields

This question was addressed to me in quiz.

The question is from Yields in Cell Culture in section Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Theoretical yields

Best explanation: Theoretical yields are sometimes referred to as maximum possible yields because they represent the yield in the absence of competing reactions.
