5 Questions
Which of the following is a characteristic of a microbial fuel cell (MFC)?
It generates electric current by diverting electrons produced from the microbial oxidation of reduced compounds on the anode to oxidized compounds on the cathode.
What is the difference between mediated and unmediated MFCs?
Mediated MFCs use a mediator to transfer electrons from the bacteria to the anode, while unmediated MFCs use bacteria with electrochemically active redox proteins.
When were the first MFCs demonstrated?
In the early 20th century
What do microbial fuel cells (MFCs) use to produce electricity?
Chemical reactions catalyzed by bacteria
What are the two general categories of MFCs?
Mediated and unmediated
