list the ten elements that microorganisms require in large amounts (macronutrients/macroelements)
and the six elements that they require in trace amounts (micronutrients)

and hydrogen/electrons for each of the categories

transport, group translocation) by which cells can obtain nutrients from the
environment
describe the various types of culture media for microorganisms (synthetic,
complex, selective, differential) and tell how each is normally used in the
study of microorganisms
describe the techniques used to obtain pure cultures (spread plate, streak
plate, pour plate)
