Which is not true about agar?

(1) It is obtained from a red alga

(2) It is used to grow microbes

(3) It is used to make ice cream and gellies

(4) It is used as a food supplement even by space travelers

Option 4 is not true about agar. So it is correct.

  • Agar is obtained from Rhodophyceae (red alga) from their cell walls.
  • Microbes found agar to be nutritional and thus used as a growth medium.
  • It is used in laboratories on Petri dishes for microbial cultures.
  • As it provides a jelly-like feel, it can be used for the preparation of ice creams and gellies.
  • But it is not used by space travelers as food supplements.
  • Mainly two unicellular alga, Chlorella and Spirulina aid as food supplements due to their high protein content.
  • Thus option 4 is a wrong statement regarding agar and thus is chosen.
