What shape are yogurt bacteria?

There are two types usually found in yogurt. One is lactobacillus and it is rod shaped. The other is a streptococcus. This one is made of cocci (round like a grape) in strings or similar to pearls on a necklace.


Is the rigid helix found in spirochetes or in spirilla?

The rigid helix structure is found in spirochetes, which are spiral-shaped bacteria characterized by their flexible, corkscrew-like shape that allows them to move in a corkscrew motion. Spirilla, on the other hand, are spiral-shaped bacteria with a more rigid structure that do not exhibit the same flexible helical shape as spirochetes.


Which is apiral bacteria cell called?

A spiral-shaped bacteria cell is called a spirillum. This type of bacteria is elongated and helical in shape, allowing it to move in a corkscrew-like manner. Spirilla are known for their unique spiral structure and are found in various environments.


Do all bacteria have a spiral shape?

No, not all bacteria have a spiral shape. Bacteria come in various shapes such as spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), and spirals (spirilla). The shape of a bacterium is determined by its cell wall structure and genetic makeup.


Which structure is found mainly in green plant and baterica?

The structure primarily found in green plants and bacteria is the cell wall. In green plants, the cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose, providing structural support and protection. In bacteria, the cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan, which helps maintain cell shape and integrity. Both structures play crucial roles in maintaining the overall function and stability of the cells.

What gives the cell its shape and provides protection but not found in animal cells?

The cell wall gives the cell its shape and provides protection, and is not found in animal cells. It is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structure and support to the cell.

What the surface of staphylococcus?

Staphlococci are bacteria with a round shape when viewed under a microscope. There are many types of staph bacteria. All bacteria have protein walls which are have a unique molecular structure to the type of bacterium, so only the correct antibody can fit this structure and destroy the bacterium cell.
