Bacteria typically exhibit three main shapes: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). Cocci can occur in various arrangements, such as clusters or chains, while bacilli can be found as single rods or in chains. Spirilla are characterized by their helical or corkscrew form. These shapes play a role in the identification and classification of bacterial species.

Animals have somewhat compact shapes although they do not necessarily take the most compact form possible (which would be a sphere). Compact shapes are more defensible. Long, thin filaments can be more easily severed than short, thick limbs.

Why do data distributions take a particular shape?

If you plot data they must take some shape (or another)! Data distributions can take all kinds of shapes. The only constraints are thatthey cannot be negative andthe integral (sum) over all possible values is 1.The shapes can be flat (uniform distribution), symmetric (uniform or Gaussian), asymmetric with one peak somewhere in the middle (Poisson), asymmetric with a peak at an end (exponential). These are examples of different shapes that are attained by common continuous data distributions.

Why won't som antibiotics cure bacterial?

One possible reason could be that the bacteria has some how become resistant to the antibiotics used to fight it. If you take a certain antibiotic often, your body will start to become immune to its effects. Then when that antibiotic is needed to fight a bacteria, your body no longer registers the antibiotics as a way of killing the bacteria.
