When growing cultures, the agar is<u> inoculated</u> to separate pathogenic colonies of organisms from colonies of normal flora.
Agar is the medium that is used for growing natural, common flora of microorganisms as the majority of the microorganisms can sustain in the agar medium.
If we want to determine a separate pathogenic colony of organisms in an agar medium then we need to inoculate the agar growth medium so that the pathogenic organism is separated from the normal flora of the microorganism. This technique allows us to filter out the cells that have the pathogenic microorganism in it.

Answer:
<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell.
</u>

Explanation:
Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.
While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.
The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.

Groundwater is the body of water derived from percolation, contained within the soil, sub-soil and underlying rocks above an impermeable layer. The top layer of groundwater is known as the water table and it marks the permanent zone of saturation. Three appropriate ways for preserving groundwater are:
- Recycling groundwater for use
-Regulating the amount of groundwater used to water neighbourhood lawns
-Monitoring the chemicals used in fossil fuel extraction
