Why is the top part of a broth or slant culture heated in a flame immediately after removing the cap? a. to kill all the bacteria on the glass b. to sterilize the glass in case you touch it with your loop c. to stimulate the growth of bacteria in the tube d. to create warm air currents that keep other bacteria out e. to expand the glass of the test tube top so that the cap will fit more securely
