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).
THE PROKARYOTIC CELL: BACTERIA. 1. There are three basic shapes of bacteria: coccus, bacillus, and spiral. 2. Based on planes of division, the coccus shape can appear in several distinct arrangements: diplococcus, streptococcus, tetrad, sarcina, and staphylococcus.acterial cell shape is determined primarily by a protein called MreB. MreB forms a spiral band â a simple cytoskeleton â around the interior of the cell just under the cytoplasmic membrane. It is thought to define shape by recruiting additional proteins that then direct the specific pattern of bacterial cell growth.
