Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.
Cell shape and Arrangement-The three main shapes of bacterial cells are: ï· Spheres (cocci [plural] or coccus [singular] ï· Rods (bacilli [plural] or bacillus [singular] ï· Helical (spirilla [plural] or spirillum [singular] The main arrangements are single cells, diplo- (pairs), staphylo- (clusters), and strepto- (chains).
Most bacteria are 0.2 um in diameter and 2-8 um in length. The three basic bacterial shapes are coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral (twisted), however pleomorphic bacteria can assume several shapes. Arrangement of cocci. Cocci may be oval, elongated, or flattened on one side.Cocci may remain attached after cell division. These group characteristics are often used to help identify certain cocci. Cocci that remain in pairs after dividing are called diplococci.rrangement of cocci. Cocci may be oval, elongated, or flattened on one side. Cocci may remain attached after cell division.
