Chapter 6, Problem 5MCQ

Assume you inoculated 100 facultatively anaerobic cells onto nutrient agar and incubated the plate aerobically. You then inoculated 100 cells of the same species onto nutrient agar and incubated the second plate anaerobically. After incubation for 24 hours, you should have

  1. a. more colonies on the aerobic plate.
  2. b. more colonies on the anaerobic plate.
  3. c. the same number of colonies on both plates.

You inoculate 100 facultative anaerobic cells onto two media plates. You incubate one aerobically and one anaerobically. Which plate will have the greatest growth after 24 hours? Explain your answer. Look up facultative and anaerobic
You inoculate two test tubes with the same amount of identical growth medium and with the same number of identical yeast cells and grow these cells under identical conditions except for the presence or absence of oxygen. a) After 12 hours, all of the glucose in each culture has been consumed. You determine the number of total cells found in each culture and find that one culture has more cells than the other. Which culture would have the greater cell density, the one grown aerobically or the one grown anaerobically? Explain why the culture you chose above can make more cells with the same amount of glucose than the other culture.
You have 2 organisms, A and B. One is an obligate aerobe and the other is an obligate anaerobe. You have 2 Nutrient Agar Plate Media that these organisms can grow on. How can you differentiate which organism is aerobic and which is anaerobic?
