A microbiologist plated a bacterium on a specific medium. After incubation, she noted that the previously yellow medium was now
alexdok [17]

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.

Shalnov [3]
<span>A. Stimulus is the term used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment. Stimulus is something that can provoke organisms to respond to the world around them. For example, if you put your hand on the stove, the stove is going to be the stimulus for you to get burned and move your hand from it because it will be to hot - that is going to be your reaction to the stimulus. Camouflage is a type of hiding mechanism, parasites are organisms, and homeostasis is equilibrium in an organism. </span>
