What is the advantage of using a nutrient agar plate over a nutrient agar slant?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Slants are better suited than agar plates, because they can be capped, preventing the agar and the culture from drying out. The cap also prevents airborne contaminants from entering the slant. Also, slants take up less storage space than an agar plate.

∙ 9y agoThe advantage of the agar plate over the slant is in growing an isolate the bacteria specimens for samples. The slant tube is then used to maintain and grow those isolated colonies.

Why use a streak plate to grow a bacterium?
You do a streak plate in order to get isolated colonies. If you inoculate into a slant, you have less surface area to work and less chance of getting isolated colonies. In broth, you'll definitely get growth but you won't know WHAT is growing. You go back into each quadrant (a little) with your loop in order to "dilute" the bacteria and get colonies. Quadrant 1 is pretty think (like a smear on the plate) but by the time you get to Quadrants 3 and 4, you should see more defined colonies and not just a film of bacteria.
Why do you need a drop of water to prepare slides when using microscope?
Because an air bubble, trapped between the slide and cover plate, shows as a dark'blob' under magnification. Using a drop of water to 'seal' the slide & cover plate together excludes the air - making the specimen more visible to the user.
What are some advantages of an agar plate over a slant tube?
The following are some advantages of an agar plate verses a slant tube: 1. Surface area- An agar plate has a much larger surface area: a. Easier to isolate individual colonies using the streak-plate method. i. Evaluate the colony shape, margin and elevation. b. Can grow a larger number of cells. 2. Growth- An agar plate allows you to quantify the number of colonies on an agar plate, provided it is within the 30-300 range. Whereas the slant tube cannot quantify growth but only describes growth as none, slight, moderate, or large.

What is nutrient absorption?
Nutrient absorption is a process that organisms use to receive nutrients. Plants do this using their roots in the soil.
