Soluble starch is added to nutrient agar to provide a consistent and easily controlled source of carbohydrates for microbial growth, allowing for standardized experiments. Unlike potatoes, which can vary in nutrient composition and may contain inhibitory compounds, nutrient agar with soluble starch ensures uniformity and reproducibility. This also allows for the cultivation of a wider range of microorganisms in a more sterile environment.

Fats and fat soluble vitamins
The nutrient that is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions is fiber. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that may be soluble or insoluble.
Fibre can't be absorbed by the body, so it is not a nutrient.
Citrus fruits provide ascorbic acid -- vitamin C -- a water soluble nutrient essential for life.
The ferrous (Fe2+) state is typically more soluble than the ferric (Fe3+) state because Fe2+ ions form more stable complexes with ligands in solution. This increased solubility can make ferrous compounds more bioavailable for biological processes and nutrient uptake.
The main functions of fat as a nutrient are supplying energy and aiding in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins, A,D, K, E. Proteins and sugars give you four kilocalories per gram. Fats give you 9 kilocalories per gram.

Yes, Vitamin C is an acid. It is actually called ascorbate or L-ascorbic acid. It is a type of necessary nutrient or vitamin in animals that is water-soluble.
