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.

Answer:

A hematocrit value of your blood would be greater than normal because of dehydration.

Explanation:

The hematocrit value is an indicator of the proportion of the solid components of blood (red blood cells) with respect to the liquid component (it means plasma). When you are severely dehydrated, the proportion of plasma diminish while the solid components remain the same. In consequence, the red blood cells concentration will be greater and the hematocrit value (solid components/plasma) will be higher than normal. This condition is reversible, if you drink enough water, your hematrocrit values will be normal again.
