Visual Connections Bloom’s Level 5: Evaluate
These questions use visual images or previous content to make connections to this chapter’s concepts.
1. Process Figure 3.10. If you were using the streak plate method to plate a very dilute broth culture (with many fewer bacteria than the broth used here) would you expect to see single, isolated colonies in area 4 or area 3? Explain your answer.
Note: This method only works if the spreading tool (using an inoculating loop) is resterilized after each of steps 1-4.
