5 Questions
What are some unique structural features of bacteria that are not found among archaea or eukaryotes?
Many structural features are unique to bacteria and are not found among archaea or eukaryotes.
Why is the cell structure of bacteria well studied?
The simplicity of bacteria relative to larger organisms and the ease with which they can be manipulated experimentally.
What is the most elemental structural property of bacteria?
The most elemental structural property of bacteria is their morphology (shape).
Is cell shape generally characteristic of a given bacterial species?
Yes, cell shape is generally characteristic of a given bacterial species, but can vary depending on growth conditions.
Give examples of different bacterial shapes.
Examples of different bacterial shapes include coccus (circle or spherical), bacillus (rod-like), coccobacillus (between a sphere and a rod), spiral (corkscrew-like), and filamentous (elongated).
