Solution:
In the given figure of simple stirred tank bioreactor,
the part marked as A, B, C and D are respectively motor, pH
control, foam braker and sterile air. A stirred tank reactor is
usually cylindrical with a curved base to facilitate the mixing
of the reactor contents. The stirrer facilitates even mixing
and oxygen availability throughout the bioreactor.
