Baccillus [plural. bacilli], Coccus [plural. cocci], and Spirillum [plural. spirilla] are three different shapes of bacteria [singular. bacterium]. A rod-shaped bacterium is called a baccillus. A spiral shaped bacterium is called a spirillum. Spirillum only live as single cells. A round bacterium is called a coccus. Some coccus form pairs and chains while others grow in grape like bunches. Some bacilli also form pairs or chains but they do not grow in bunches. Flagellum [plural. flagella] are hair like structures that allow the bacteria to move in liquids.
Cilia.
Cocci are spherical bacteria. As such, they do not have flagella, or tails that allow other types of bacteria to move on their own. Most cocci are not capable of locomotion.
Bacteria do reproduce by themselves through a process known as asexual reproduction. This means they do not require a partner, as in sexual reproduction. In binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction, a bacteria will split itself in half into two identical copies of the original.
main shapes of bacteria1)Spherical: circular2)Triangular: bent and curved in three places3) Retangular: they have a "boxy" shapei thought the first answer was wrong so heres the ones from my notes.Main Shapes of Bacteria1)Rod shaped (Bacilli)2)Sphere shaped (Cocci)3)Spiral shaped (Spirilla)

bacilli move by using a whip-like structure called a flagellum.

Spirillum helps bacteria to move ahead.
Cocci are spherical bacteria. As such, they do not have flagella, or tails that allow other types of bacteria to move on their own. Most cocci are not capable of locomotion.

Bacteria are prokaryotic. Bacterial cells usually come in one of 3 shapes: cocci, bacilli, spirilla. They can be by themselves, in pair, chains, or clusters. They can use either a flagella or pili to move the cell. Bacteria can reproduce by binary fissionor by conjugation. Bacteria can get into your body a number of ways: by inhaling them, through cuts, eating contaminate food, or getting bit by an infected insect. Bacteria are either heterotrophic or autotrophic. Bacterial disease can usually be fought off with soap, chemicals, and antibiotics. Bacteria can be helpful in many ways such as making food, medicine, help clean our environment, or make several vitamins in the intestines. Bacteria can also be harmful by causing cavities and gum disease, ulcers, or disease by releasing toxins.
Bacillus used a whip-like structure called a flagellum to move about. Some bacilli that don't have a flagella move by twitching or gliding.

We cant move mountains. Mountains move themselves
