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.

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because:___
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

Explanation:

The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.

Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.
