Answer:

A differential medium

Explanation:

Bacteria require nutrients for growth, and in order to culture (grow) them and study their characteristics, different types of media are used.

A selective media is used to grow a particular group of organism while suppressing another. So a selective media usually has an inhibitory agent, which will inhibit the growth of the undesired group. An antibiotic can be added to a medium to make it selective.

A general purpose medium as the name implies can be used to grow any group of bacteria. It has no inhibitory agent and indicator that differentiates between organisms. An example of general purpose media is nutrient agar .

A non-synthetic media is made from natural ingredients.

A differential media differentiates between groups of organisms. Example of differential media is MacConkey agar and Mannitol Salt agar. On MacConkey agar, lactose fermenting bacteria turn pink while non-lactose fermenting bacteria are colorless.

On Mannitol Salt agar, mannitol fermenting bacteria turn yellow while non-mannitol fermenting bacteria are colorless. Mannitol Salt agar is also a selective medium. It has a high salt concentration which inhibits certain organisms.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The producers-Sea weed-Perform photosynthesis.

The filter feeders- sponges, chiton-eat floating planktons.

Grazers -Snails,mussels feed on- floating planktons.

Carnivores such as sea stars feeds on snails

Explanation:

  • The producers are placed at the bottom level in energy pyramid and are prime factor in the aquatic eco system which provides energy and perform photosynthesis with the help of water,sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • The filter feeders are those that feeds upon small particles that are present in the water.
  • Grazers are those organisms that feeds on producers like phytoplanktons.
  • Carnivores are those organisms that feeds on herbivores.
