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).
Two joined cocci are known a diplococci, while four arranged in a square shape are called a tetrad. The Sarcina genus arrange themselves in groups of eight, in a cube shape. The other common arrangements include a chain of bacteria (known as streptococci) or irregular clusters of bacteria (known as staphylococci). The average size of a coccus bacterium is 0.5 - 1 micrometer.
