Question

Media X contains 2mM glucose, 5% NaCl and 10mM beef extract. This is an example of a (COMPLEX/DEFINED) media.

Answer 1

Answer:

Complex media.

Explanation:

In a defined medium the exact composition of each component is known and it contains pure ingredients. In a complex medium, the exact composition of each component is unknown and it often contains extracts of animal or plant tissues (whose exact composition is unknown). In this case, media X contains beef extract, which is an undefined ingredient so it is a complex medium.
