The culture medium (nutrient medium) can be referred to as a ‘highly enriched laboratory soil. Justify the statement.

Answers (1)

Soil is the reservoir of water and plant nutrients. Similarly, culture medium or nutrient medium is the reservoir of water and plant nutrients for plants being grown on culture medium. Soil may have higher or lower nutrient content, and many nutrients may be missing. But in the culture medium, all the essential nutrients are supplied as per need. Hence, the culture medium is richer in terms of nutrients for plants. Due to these reasons, the culture medium can be called as a highly-enriched laboratory soil.
