Culture Solutions - GCSE Biology Definition

Reviewed by: Lára Marie McIvor

Published

In GCSE Biology, 'Culture Solutions' are special mixtures used in laboratories to grow and study microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. These solutions provide the essential nutrients and environment that these tiny organisms need to survive and multiply. Think of culture solutions as a kind of "meal" for microorganisms, helping scientists observe their behaviour, study their life cycles, and test their reactions to different treatments. By using culture solutions, scientists can better understand how these microorganisms function and how they might affect humans and other living things.
