Explain why you would use selective media instead of differential media to grow an organism? A) You want to determine biochemical and physiological characteristics. B) You want to determine biochemical characteristics, not cell wall type. C) You want to determine both cell wall type and biochemical characteristics. D) You only want to determine the cell wall type, not any biochemical characteristics.

A) You want to determine biochemical and physiological characteristics.

Explanation: selective media such as MacConkey agar is used to grow, determine and study a particular organism. It allows the growth of the target organism and inhibits the growth of others thereby giving one organism to study at a time instead of growing different organisms and isolating the organism of study. It is specific.

Differential media is used to differentiate, compare and contrast two or more organisms.

D) You only want to determine the cell wall type, not any biochemical

Explanation:

Basically selective media is used in the culture medium meant for growing only a specific microorganism, while preventing the growth of any other microbes in the medium.It is used for ensuring the growth and survival of a desired microbe with a desired characteristics, while suppressing the growth of unwanted competitor. it its primary use it to ensure the survival of needed microbes, while neutralizing or killing any unwanted microorganism.

However, in order to distinguished one organism from another in a culture medium , that is to find out if a micro organism is present or not, biochemical properties displayed by the organism when an indicator is added to the medium is usually used . That is to identify a specific microbes and therefore to differentiate from others in the media . It characterise the growth of a particular microorganism based on the biochemical properties observed when an indicator is added. it does not kill the other microbes present.

Based on this, option D is correct, because, the objective was not to identify the microorganism based on biochemical properties;or to distinguished one microbes from another;but rather to select the organism through identification of the cell structure.

Consider the motion of the balloon and its air contents in terms of momentum. in step 1 above, the total momentum of the balloon and its contents was zero. recall that momentum = mv. both the balloon and the air inside it had a velocity of zero and therefore the total momentum was zero. now think about what happened when the air escaped from the balloon. a certain mass of air accelerated in one direction. in order to keep the total momentum of the system zero, the balloon itself (which has mass) had to accelerate in the opposite direction. use this scenario to you explain why the soda can rotates when the water squirts out of the escape holes. what was your hypothesis concerning the water-filled can? according to your data, do you think your hypothesis was correct? (be sure to refer to your data when answering this question.) summarize any difficulties or problems you had in performing the experiment that might have affected the results. describe how you might change the procedure to avoid these problems. give at least one more example of newton's third law in everyday life.
