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). Activity 2: Observe Prokaryotic Cell Specimen Refer to each photo and answer the question using the information provided in Figure 7.1 and Table 7.2 Domain= Coccus single chain pair tetrad 8 8 8 Bacillus single fusiform chain Spirillum Specimen = What identifying characteristics of this organ- ism helped you to determine its specimen's name?
