Cowing what ingredients make a medium defined versus undefined and where carbon and nitrogen sources come from, use the ingredient list for each medium provided in the lecture to list at least one ingredient that medium is undefined, list at least one ingredient that makes it undefined. Last, use the results you observed to determine if the medium has the ability to support growth of a wide range of organism or not. You can use words to describe the effectiveness of the medium such as: good, fair, poor, etc.

[ able[[What ingredient makes it],[undefined?]],,,undefined],
[Ability to support growth,,,]]
Evaluate the media:
a. Which medium used supports the growth of the widest range of organisms?
b. Which medium used supports the growth of the least number of organisms?
c. Is there a link between the answers provided in 2a and 2b and whether or not the medium is defined or undefined? If so, what conclusion can be made for this correlation? If not, what information can you conclude from the observations you made?
