Illustrate the following bacterial shapes.

**Bacterial Shapes Illustration**

The following diagram is designed to help students understand and illustrate the different shapes of bacteria. Five primary bacterial shapes are outlined below with empty boxes where illustrations can be made.

1. **Coccus**: 
   - Description: Cocci are spherical or oval bacteria having one of several distinct arrangements based on their planes of division.
   - Image placeholder: An empty box is provided for you to draw a spherical shape representing cocci.

2. **Bacillus/Rod**:
   - Description: Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria that appear either as single rods (Monobacilli) or in chains (Streptobacilli).
   - Image placeholder: An empty box is provided for you to draw a rod-like shape representing bacilli.

3. **Vibrio**:
   - Description: Vibrio bacteria are comma-shaped, with a curved rod appearance.
   - Image placeholder: An empty box is provided for you to draw a curved rod representing vibrio.

4. **Spirillum**:
   - Description: Spirilla bacteria are rigid spiral-shaped and can appear slightly twisted resembling a corkscrew.
   - Image placeholder: An empty box is provided for you to draw a spiral shape representing spirilla.

5. **Spirochete**:
   - Description: Spirochetes are uniquely characterized by their flexible, helical, and elongated structure, appearing as spirals with more pronounced twists.
   - Image placeholder: An empty box is provided for you to draw a helical shape representing spirochetes.

Students can use the designated boxes to illustrate each bacterial shape based on the given descriptions.
