Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic characteristics of bacteria: Bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are also unicellular, consisting of a single cell.
Recognize the diversity in bacterial morphology: Bacteria can have various shapes such as cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), spirilla (spiral-shaped), and others. This indicates that not all bacteria have the same shape.
Learn about bacterial reproduction: Bacteria typically reproduce through binary fission, a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Explore bacterial motility: Some bacteria have structures like flagella that allow them to move, while others may be non-motile.
Identify the characteristic that does not apply to all bacteria: Given the options, 'All have the same shape' is not a characteristic of bacteria, as they exhibit a variety of shapes.
