Question
Part B: Observation of Prokaryotic Cells
Because of the small size of prokaryotic cells, your observation will focus on distinguishing
between cell shape and cell arrangement. Together, appearance and arrangement are used to
characterize bacteria.
Bacteria have three basic shapes (Figure 7.1): cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod), spirilla (spiral).
Bacteria can also be differentiated based on their cell arrangement (Figure 7.1): diplo (pairs),
strepto (chains), staphylo (clusters).
