Detailed explanation-1: -Individual bacteria can assume one of three basic shapes: spherical (coccus), rodlike (bacillus), or curved (vibrio, spirillum, or spirochete).
Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells are typically shaped as either spheres (called cocci), rods (called bacilli), or spirals.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three basic shapes of bacteria are bacillus (rod-shaped), coccus (spherical-shaped), and spirillum (spiral-shaped).
Detailed explanation-4: -Different shapes of a bacterial cell are: Spherical-Cocci. Rod-shaped-Bacilli. Spiral bacteria.
Detailed explanation-5: -Staphylococci – They are gram-positive cocci that are arranged in grape-like clusters. Micrococci – They are also gram-positive cocci that appear as irregular clusters. Streptococci – They are another group of gram-positive cocci that appear in chains.
