Some bacteria have flagella, which appearance resembles a long thin tail. They use this to move around. Others "squirm" and glide.
Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.
The first person to describe the shapes of bacteria was the Dutch scientist Antony van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century. He observed and documented various shapes of bacteria using the microscope he had developed.
Cocci are spherical bacteria. As such, they do not have flagella, or tails that allow other types of bacteria to move on their own. Most cocci are not capable of locomotion.
The five basic shapes of bacteria are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), spirilla (spiral), vibrio (comma-shaped), and spirochetes (corkscrew-shaped). These shapes influence how bacteria move, divide, and interact with their environment.
They are bacteria w/ varying shapes, not just one..
I think the answer is the flagellum
Locomotion.
Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.
3 shapes of bacteria are spirilla (spiral), bacilla (rod-shaped), and cocci (spherical).

Cholera bacteria has got a flagellum at one pole for locomotion.

They are about the size of a bacteria, but they have different shapes.
Coccus, Bacillus, and Spirullum.

Archaea do not have a defined means of locomotion like bacteria or eukaryotes. Some archaea can move using flagella, pili, or by gliding along surfaces, but they are generally not as motile as bacteria. Archaea can also be transported passively by water currents or wind.
