Which outcome results when a closed bioreactor reaches steady-state?

A)Net reaction rates become constant
B)Osmotic pressure will continually increase
C)Microbial growth rate accelerates slowly
D)Nutrients replenish beyond demand

💡 Explanation

A steady-state results in constant net reaction rates because equilibrium is achieved where forward and reverse reactions balance; therefore, reactant consumption and product formation stabilize rather than causing nutrient surplus or accelerating growth. The fluxes offset.
