Do you think All the organism living in or on the environments sampled grew on the plate why or why not?

No, not all bacteria grow on nutrient agar. Nutrient agar is considered one of the least selective agars but some bacteria are fastideous in their growth requirments. Microbiologists have gone to great lengths to get some bacteria to grow in the lab including using nine-banded armadillo foot pads to grow the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae which causes leprosy.

It is unlikely that all organisms in the sampled environment grew on the plate. This could be due to factors like the nutrient requirements of the organisms, presence of inhibitory substances on the plate, and competition from other organisms present. Additionally, some organisms may not have been adequately transferred to the plate during sampling.

∙ 12y agoSome bacteria live in volcanoes which are acid, sulphurous and hot, they reduce the H2S to sulphur. They can live under the sea at high pressure or on top of mountains where it is cold, think of sammonella which lives in frozen chicken. Under the sea they are called black gushers, metal sulphides can be black, hence mineral extraction at sea, hopefully this will give you more ideas to come up with.

∙ 14y agoNo because not all microorganism can be grow and give a colony.

∙ 15y agoNo. While humans have designed several distinct agars to culture many kinds of microorganisms, it is currently understood that most microorganisms are currently not culturable.

What is Living skin at the base of the nail plate called?
Cuticle
IS A single colony 1 organism?
No, it is a population of bacteria that grows from the cell or cells that landed on that spot on the plate.
What organism yellow green on blood agar?
Streptococcus pneuomoniae When this organism is tested on a blood agar plate it's colonies will be surrounded by a greenish discoloration due to alpha-hemolysis.
Why have zone inhibition?
It is the area on an agar plate where growth of a control organism is prevented by an antibiotic usually placed on the agar surface. If the test organism is susceptable to the antibiotic, it will not grow where the antibioitic is.
How do limestone deposits provide evidence of how plate motions have changed earths surface?
Limestone deposits can provide evidence of past plate movements because they form in shallow marine environments where tectonic plates converge or diverge. The presence of limestone in areas that were once underwater indicates past plate movement and changes in sea level. By studying the distribution and characteristics of limestone deposits, scientists can infer how plate motions have affected the Earth's surface over time.
Why is a sponge not a true animal?
It is because sponge is the thing that we use to wash our plate and sponge is not a living thing.....While animal is a living thing and it does not wash our plate....
Suppose you have two organisms in a mixture and organism A is 1000 times more abundant than organism B Will you be able to isolate organism B using the spread plate technique?
It may be challenging to isolate organism B using the spread plate technique if organism A is 1000 times more abundant, as it could outcompete organism B when plated on agar. To isolate organism B effectively, you may need to dilute the sample to reduce the predominance of organism A before plating it on the agar.
What is the nail plate produced by?
The nail plate is produced by living skin cells ( specialized epithelial cells)
What are earth processes that are not affected by human and other organism?
Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, plate tectonics,
What is Living skin at the base of the nail plate called?

What is logo on Saskatchewan license plate?
Land of the Living Skies

What is a continental arc?
A continental arc is a chain of volcanoes that forms on the overriding plate of a convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another. Magma generated by the subduction process rises to the surface, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs along the continental margin. Examples include the Andes in South America and the Cascade Range in North America.
What would be found in the clear area the would not be found in the blue area of a starch agar plate after the addition of iodine?
Another organism on the starch agar plate breaks down the starch into smaller sugars, and the starch intolerant organism in turn competes for the smaller sugars. As a result, you will see colonies of the starch user pop up first, and then smaller satellite colonies of the dependant organism will form around them.
