Shape: Bacteria have three main shapes, they can be cocci (round), bacillus (rod-like), spirochete (helical or spiral). They can also be club shaped, and vibrio shaped (like a crescent moon or curved rod).
Cocci can be in singles, clumps, pairs, tetrads (four), and chains. Bacillus can be in singles, pairs, and chains.
Size: Bacteria can be anywhere between 5 and 0.5 µm.
Structure: Cells with a protein base wall, no central nucleus (instead having a central circular chromosome), and no membrane-bound organelles. They can have flagellum for motility.

Three basic shapes of bacteria?
The three basic shapes of bacteria are spherical, rod and spiral. Coccus bacteria is spherical in shape, Bacillus is rod-shaped and Spirillum is spiral-shaped.
Classification of bacterias?
There are different ways to classify bacteria, because there are many functions to bacteria. A phenotypic system is one way to classify bacteria.
Do Cocci bacilli and spirilla describe fungal shapes?
No. These are shapes of some bacteria. Cocci are round like tiny pearls. And spirilla are corkscrewed shaped.

How do the shapes of bacteria compare the diversity of shapes of the protists?
bacteria have cell walls, making them keep their shape, while most protists have either pellicles or cell membranes which can change shape.
