Which organism is used in the production of Humulin (human insulin)?
Recombinant E. coli (bacteria) or yeast are engineered to produce human insulin (Humulin). Bacteria are most common for large-scale production.
Resistivity ($\rho$) is the reciprocal of conductivity ($\sigma$).
$\sigma = ne\mu_e$
Given: $n = 10^{19} \text{ m}^{-3}$, $\mu_e = 1.6 \text{ m}^2/\text{Vs}$, and $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$.
$\sigma = 10^{19} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times 1.6 = 1.6 \times 1.6 = 2.56 \ \Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}$.
$\rho = \frac{1}{\sigma} = \frac{1}{2.56} \approx 0.39 \ \Omega\text{m}$.
The closest value provided is $0.4 \ \Omega\text{m}$.
In which circumstances are unit costing and job costing used?
| Option | Unit Costing | Job Costing |
|---|---|---|
| A | When a quantity of identical items is made | When each product is different |
| B | When each product is different | In continuous operations |
| C | In continuous operations | In continuous operations |
| D | When a quantity of identical items is made | When each product is different |
Option A is correct.
- Unit costing: Used for large quantities of identical products in a continuous process (e.g., bricks, bottles).
- Job costing: Used when each job/product is unique (e.g., construction, custom printing).
Density ($\rho$) is given by: $\rho = \frac{M}{L^3}$
The relative error formula for density is:
$\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} \times 100 = \frac{\Delta M}{M} \times 100 + 3 \left( \frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100 \right)$
Substitute the given values:
$\text{Max Error} = 1.5\% + 3(1\%) = 4.5\%$
