Which form of bacteria is matched correctly to its description?
A
Coccus: spherical-shaped bacteria
B
Bacillus: spiral-shaped bacteria
C
Vibrio: filamentous-shaped bacteria
D
Spirillum: rod-shaped bacteria
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the basic bacterial shapes. Bacteria are commonly classified into several shapes: coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), spirillum (spiral-shaped), vibrio (comma-shaped), and filamentous (long thread-like).
Step 2: Match each bacterial shape to its correct description based on standard microbiology definitions: Coccus refers to spherical-shaped bacteria, Bacillus refers to rod-shaped bacteria, Spirillum refers to spiral-shaped bacteria, and Vibrio refers to comma-shaped bacteria.
Step 3: Identify the incorrect matches in the problem: Bacillus is incorrectly matched with spiral-shaped bacteria, Vibrio is incorrectly matched with filamentous-shaped bacteria, and Spirillum is incorrectly matched with rod-shaped bacteria.
Step 4: Confirm the correct matches: Coccus is spherical-shaped, Bacillus is rod-shaped, Spirillum is spiral-shaped, and Vibrio is comma-shaped.
Step 5: Conclude that the only correctly matched pair in the problem is 'Coccus: spherical-shaped bacteria' and the others are mismatched.
