What is the difference between spirillum and spirochetes?
Spirochetes have a spiral shape, a flexible cell wall, and motility mechanisms based on structures called axial filaments. Each axial filament is composed of fibrils extending toward each other between two layers of the cell wall. Spirochetes are very slender and difficult to see under the light microscope. They are cultivated with great difficulty (some cannot be cultivated), and their classification is based on their morphology and pathogenicity. Certain species inhabit water environments, while others are parasites of arthropods (such as ticks and lice) as well as warmblooded animals. Spirochetes include Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis, and Leptospira interrogans, the agent of leptospirosis. Spirilla have a spiral shape, a rigid cell wall, and motility mechanisms based on polar flagella. The genera Spirillum, Aquaspirillum, and Azospirillum are widely dispersed among and readily isolated from numerous environments. These organisms are aerobic bacteria wound like helices.

What is sprilla?
I don't know if you meant spirilla or sprilla so........ Sprilla : A rare species of African Gorilla, the Sprilla is prized for its soft shag fur. The Sprilla are known to steal small children and babies, but mainly their diet consists of bushes and small animals. Their toenails contain a rare substance used in the Polio vaccine, and because of this they have been hunted into a state of near extinction Spirilla : A spirilla is a bacterium (genus Spirillum) with a rigid spiral structure, found in stagnant water and sometimes causing disease.
Bacilli cocci and spirals are all types of what?
Bacilli, cocci, and spirilla all refer to the shape of different bacteria. Bacilli are rod shaped, cocci are spherical, and spirilla have "curved walls" meaning that they are either slightly bent or rigid spirals. You can use google images for pictures of each. Hope this helps!
What structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells.?
Chloroplasts and rigid cell walls are two examples.
Which bacterial form can be curved like a spiral thick and rigid or thin and flexible?
The bacterial form that can be curved like a spiral can be either thick and rigid, known as spirilla, or thin and flexible, known as spirochetes. Both forms are capable of moving by rotating their bodies.

What are three shapes of bacteria?
Coccus or cocci: round - spherical Bacillus or Bacilli: Rod Spirillum or Spirilla: rigid, wavy shape Pleomorphism: condition of varying shapes
What shape is a spirillum?
A spirillum is a type of bacteria characterized by its spiral or corkscrew shape. This distinct shape allows it to move in a twisting motion, which can help it navigate through liquid environments. Spirilla are often rigid and can be found in various environments, including soil and water.
What are rod disease caused by?
"Rods" are one type of shapes found in various bacteria. There are three basic shapes: Round bacteria are referred to as cocci(singular: coccus). Rod-shaped cells are known as bacilli(singular: bacillus) and spiral shaped cells can be one of two types: either rigid called spirilla(singular spirillum) or flexible called spirochetes (singular spirochete).Staphylococci: a cocci, can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).Gonorrhea:caused by a cocciEscherichia coli:is a bacillus or rod and is found in the intestines. An important E.coli type is E. coliO157:H7. It can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting.Other bacilli diseases are: Anthrax and TB.

What is a torc that queen boudicca wore?
A torc is a rigid open ring (or helix), usually made of precious metal. Depending on its size, it can be used as a bracelet, armlet, anklet, or even a necklace.
