Bacteria may have one of two external structures for powered movement: flagella or cilia. Also bacteria are often capable of "flowing" to move by using internal mechanisms.

Is aids the most common bacteria found on hands?

Aids is not a bacteria. Aids is not found on hands (or that would be extremely rare).


What shape of bacteria allows for easier movement?

Rod-shaped bacteria, known as bacilli, typically allow for easier movement compared to other shapes. Their elongated structure reduces drag in liquid environments, enabling them to swim more efficiently. Additionally, many rod-shaped bacteria possess flagella, which further aids in their motility. This streamlined shape is advantageous for navigating through various environments.


What two cell structures do protists have that bacteria does not?

Protists have membrane-bound organelles, such as a nucleus and mitochondria, which are not present in bacteria. Additionally, many protists possess a complex cytoskeleton that aids in maintaining cell shape and facilitating movement, a feature that is generally absent in bacterial cells. These structures contribute to the greater complexity and diversity of protists compared to bacteria.


How do bacteria contribute to ecosystem?

Bacteria plays a very important role in the ecosystem by maintaining the balance in the environment to thrive. Bacteria aids in the creation of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.


Are Cocci bacteria are round spherical shaped bacteria and do not have any means of self-movement.?

Yes, cocci bacteria are spherical-shaped and classified as round bacteria. While they do not possess flagella for self-movement, some species can exhibit movement through other means, such as twitching or gliding. However, they primarily rely on external factors, like fluid currents, for mobility.
