Study Notes
Energy Sources
- Phototrophs use light as a source of energy.
- Chemotrophs use chemical compounds as an energy source.
Bacterial Shapes
- Bacteria can have different shapes, including:
- Cocci (spherical shape)
- Bacilli (rod-shaped)
- Spiral (helical shape)
- Vibrio (comma-shaped)
Bacterial Arrangements
- Bacterial cells can be arranged in different ways, such as:
- Single cells
- Pairs (diplococci)
- Chains (streptococci)
- Clusters (staphylococci)
- Bacteria can form biofilms, which are communities of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and are protected by a matrix.
Bacteria Associated with Diseases
- Helicobacter pylori is associated with gastric and duodenal ulcers.
This quiz covers the different sources of energy, including photosynthesis which uses light, and chemotrophs which use chemical compounds. Learn about the various ways organisms produce energy.
