Discussion
In a viable plate count, each ___represents a ___from the sample population.
Answer: B
Correct answer: colony, cell
The assumption behind a viable plate count is that each colony grew from a single cell that could reproduce. So counting the colonies and multiplying by the dilution gives the number of viable cells in the original sample - and the result is reported as colony-forming units, since a clump would also give one colony.
