Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A defined synthetic medium is a growth medium where the exact composition and concentration of all the components are known. In this case, the growth medium only consists of known amounts of water, magnesium, calcium chloride, potassium, and glucose, making it a defined synthetic medium. It is not a complex medium as it does not contain any unknown components, and it is not a chemically non-defined medium as the exact composition of all the components is known.
