Question

winston mixed bacteria into a nutrient - rich liquid where the bacteria could grow. he poured four ounces of the mixture into each of ten glass flasks. in five of the ten flasks, he also added one teaspoon of cinnamon. he allowed the bacteria in the flasks to grow overnight in a 37°c room. then, winston used a microscope to count the number of bacteria in a small sample from each flask. he compared the amount of bacteria in the liquid with cinnamon to the amount of bacteria in the liquid without cinnamon. identify the question that winstons experiment can best answer. does temperature affect how much bacteria can grow in liquid? do more bacteria grow in liquid with cinnamon than in liquid without cinnamon?

Explanation:

Winston's experiment has two groups - one with cinnamon in the liquid and one without. He then counts and compares the amount of bacteria in both types of liquid. So the experiment is focused on the impact of cinnamon on bacterial growth.

Answer:

Do more bacteria grow in liquid with cinnamon than in liquid without cinnamon?
