Q: Which of the following is a reason we use aseptic techniques, and would want to inoculate a plate?
- Microorganisms are everywhere, and without aseptic techniques we couldn't grow a pure culture.
- By using aseptic techniques, we can grow a culture on one of the plates we prepared, this is called inoculating it.
- Being able to inoculate cultures aseptically, and grow them purely, is important to microbiology.
- All of the above.
A: All of the above.

Q: Which of the following do we do when we are using aseptic techniques?
- Try to keep dust and air flow away from our media, and keep it covered whenever possible.

- All of the above.
A: All of the above.
