Best Answer

Rod shaped bacterial cells that are in chains or as individuals are called bacilli. Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrio) or corkscrew (spirochetes).
However the first three are considered the most basic shapes and the others are slight variations of them.

Why do cells need to separate?

Only some cells separate. Ones that normally are only one cell will do that. Some cells form two cells, some form strands or chains, and some form clusters and look like a bunch of grapes. In other situations, many cells together will form tissues. These are found in animals and plants. It really depends on how their genes work and tell them what to do.
