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 Size, Shape, And Arrangement Of Bacterial Cells. 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.occi that divide in multiple planes and form grape like clusters or sheets are called staphylococci. Bacilli. Since bacilli only divide across their short axis there are fewer groupings. Bacillus is a shape (rod shaped) but there is also a genus of bacteria with the name Bacillus.
