Question

Part II: Data Compare the amount of bacterial growth on the ampicillin plus plate to the growth on the no ampicillin plate. Hold the petri plate up to the light to locate areas of bacterial growth. If a large area of the plate is uniformly cloudy when compared to the agar at the edge of the plate, that area is completely covered by bacterial growth. On the data page, sketch in the location and size of the bacteria growth. If there are Hifferences in color, include that information in the drawings. DATA No Amp Plus Amp
Part II: Data use the picture below to draw in the bacterial growth. The photo on the left hand side is the 'No Amp' plate and the photo on the right hand side is the 'Plus Amp' plate.

Answer 1

Okay, let us discuss these results and make the drawings with some added discussion too:

- Ampicillin discussion:

We can clearly observe how the addition of ampicillin produced a decreased bacterial growth, the number of colonies in this plate is lower for sure compared to the No amp plate. Ampicillin is an antibiotic, so it will kill any bacteria that does not have specific resistance to it. These results were expected.

- Drawings:

O . No Amp

First drawing: There are independent colonies all along the plate, they are not even near to form a saturated cloudy growing pattern due to being to few. There is no color variation.

Plus Amp

Second drawing: This plate is not showing the cloudy saturated pattern neither but it does has a larger number of colonies. The largest concentration of colonies is indicated in the drawing by a large grey dot. A lower concentration occurs at the plate's edges. There is no color variation.
