- Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms that are far too small to detect with the naked eye. Describe how you could grow enough bacteria in a colony to be viewed without a microscope. What is the relationship between the cells that form a colony?arrow_forwardImagine you are working in a microbiology lab. You perform an experiment where you take a culture of bacterial cells, transfer them to a new solution (Solution A), and then determine the number of living cells. You are surprised by the result: there are no living cells! Which of the following is a possible explanation for your observation? Solution A is hypertonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells. Solution A is isotonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells. Solution A is hypotonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells.

- 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).
