Mannitol salt agar (MSA) only allows the growth of halophiles (salt-loving microbes). Among the halophiles, mannitol fermenters

release acid that turns the pH indicator yellow; mannitol nonfermenters leave the medium red. Onto MSA you inoculate a halophilic mannitol nonfermenter and a nonhalophilic mannitol nonfermenter. Here the medium acts as a __________ medium.
A. selective
B. differential
C. selective and differential
D. enrichment

Answer:

B. differential

Explanation:

The culture medium is a chemical preparation that has the necessary nutrients for microorganisms of a given biological sample to multiply, allowing its study, identification and analysis. The main components of a culture medium are sources of carbon, energy (sugars), nitrogen, phosphorus and minerals.

There are several types of culture medium, among them we can mention the differential culture medium, which is the type of medium that is being used in the experiment shown in the question above. The differential culture medium allows the distinction between various genera and species of similar microorganisms. This distinction is possible because this type of culture medium has substances that allow for a presumptive differentiation, evidenced by the color change or the morphology of the colonies.

Which kingdom is completely composed of unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic
larisa [96]
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms with no nucleus, and so this would make bacteria a prime example. Therefore, depending upon the system being used, the kingdom that contains single-celled prokaryotes could be Monera, or the combination of Archaeobacteria and Eubacteria.

The kingdom systems, which were previously taught in high school, consisted of a 5-kingdom system which was later expanded to 6. The 5- kingdom  included Animals, Plants, Fungi, Monera and Protists. The 6- kindgom system expanded Monera into Archaeobacteria and Eubacteria.

The "kingdom" system of classification is now generally not recognized as a valid or helpful way of classification, at least not according to modern evidence. It tends to be "paraphyletic", meaning that it describes relationships which do not match the evolutionary relationships of the organisms being described, and tends to favor human conventions rather than biological evidence. Kingdoms have generally been replaced by "domains" in terms of organizing relationships between organisms, referring to the prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and archaea, based on genetic and protein data.

Stella wants to test the hypothesis “If carbon dioxide levels increase, the growth rate of sunflowers will increase.” She places
Jet001 [13]

The correct answer is option D. She should place one flower in a similar container, but not pump carbon dioxide into it. She should also give each plant the same amount of water.

In the experiment, a control should be present to compare the effect of the variable in the experiment. In the control sample, all the parameters except the variable should be same as the experimental group. In this way, the comparison of the effect of variable can be easily done in an experiment.

In this case, the variable is amount of carbon dioxide the plant receives. So, Stella should include a control group by placing the plant in the same container and leave it on atmospheric carbon dioxide supply, no extra carbon dioxide should be pumped into it.  Also, the amount of water she give to each plant should be the same to maintain the water level as constant.
