Why is the inoculating loop flamed before streaking a new sections of the medium?

The  inoculating loop is used as a tool to inoculate microbes on plates. So it is necessary to flame the inoculating loop to destroy any kind of microorganisms that may contaminate ou interfer the culture medium. The fire, together with ethanol, helps to sterilize the loop, allowing it to inoculate a pure culture.

the denominator has a very specific role.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
