EXPLANATION: - Culture media are of different types depending on the nutrients they have and the type of microorganisms that grow on them. - Growth media are primarily of two types; one for cell culture where specific cell types are grown of specific plants and animals, and another for microbiological culture to support the growth of microorganisms on artificial surfaces. - For microbial culture, the most common culture media are agar plates or broth medium. Agar plates are made up of a growth medium containing agar that results in the formation of a gel-like support medium for growth. - The broth medium, in turn, is made without any agar, which gives it the consistency of a liquid support medium. Both the agar plates and broth media can be either general media or selective media. - General...
