There are 8 protons in an element with an atomic number of 8. Atoms are numbered after their number of protons. The number of protons is what defines the element. If the number of protons were to change, the element would not be the same, but another different one. That's why the number of protons is single to each element and they are numbered after them.
The atomic number is many times represented by the letter Z.

Agar is an important component of media because A. bacteria require agar to grow.
Alik [6]

C. Agar provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.

Agar is a substance obtained from red algae which when added to a culture media, provides a solid surface for the growth of bacteria. When the agar is not added then the culture media remains as the broth and when the agar is added then the broth gets solidified.

Agar is added 1.5-2% in the broth to get solidified. The growth of the bacteria depends on the amount of agar added. Agar is used for the growth of bacteria because it has gel like properties which holds the nutrients evenly and the bacteria can use it accordingly.

What are your thoughts about how the universe formed?
V125BC [204]

 For centuries scientists thought the Universe always existed in a largely unchanged form, run like clockwork thanks to the laws of physics. But a Belgian priest and scientist called George Lemaitre put forward another idea. In 1927, he proposed that the Universe began as a large, pregnant and primeval atom, exploding and sending out the smaller atoms that we see today.

His idea went largely unnoticed. But in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe isn’t static but is in fact expanding. If so, some scientists reasoned that if you rewound the Universe's life then at some point it should have existed as a tiny, dense point. Critics dismissed this: the celebrated astronomer Fred Hoyle sarcastically called this concept the “Big Bang Theory"
