Describe one advantage of each shape of bacteria?

Cocci: have a large surface area-to-volume ratio which aids in nutrient absorption and helps in resisting desiccation. Bacilli: have increased mobility due to their elongated shape, allowing for swift movement and colonization. Spirilla: possess a corkscrew-like structure that enables efficient movement through viscous environments and helps in avoiding predation.

Are round shaped bacteria bacillus?

round cells are round discs with two large dimples at each side, and they are known as red blood cells. Their job is to carry oxygen to all your cells. The rounded shape gives extra surface area for picking up and carrying oxygen.


Why does the small intestine have a large internal surface area and what contributes?

the small intestine has a large surface area because it allows nutrients to be absorbed into the body more quickly and easily.If there was a small surface area may-be most of our nutrients would end uo in the large intestine and out when we go to the toilet. To answer the final part of the question. What contributes? the length and elasticity of the small intestine contributes to it having a large surface area.


What are the large irregularly shaped cells that kill bacteria by digesting them?

Macrophages are the large irregularly shaped cells that kill bacteria by digesting them through a process called phagocytosis. These immune cells play a crucial role in the body's defense against pathogens.

The large intestine does not absorb any nutrients only water. According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_intestine The bacteria in the large intestine will generate some vitamins including vitamin K and some short chain fatty acids that are absorbed in the large intestine.


What is caused by rod shaped bacteria?

Rod shaped bacteria simply refers to the shape of a large group of bacilli bacteria. Different ones have different effects. For example, mycobacteria are a type of bacillus bacteria that include species such as M. tuberculosis and M. avium. They are responsible for granumolas. Another example is the completely harmless L. acidophilus used as a culture in yoghurt production.


Is mitochondria made up of cytoplasm?

Mitocondria have the same structure as bacteria: outer lipid bilayer membrane, cytoplasm, large ring shaped DNA chromosome, small ring shaped DNA plasmids.


What are soil bacteria that break down large chemicals called?

Soil bacteria that break down large chemicals are known as biodegraders. These bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones, making nutrients more accessible to plants and other organisms in the soil.


Why are villi so important in the digestive process?

Villi are found in our small and large intestines, and are adapted to their function by having a very large Surface Area to volume ratio. They are vital as they extract the vital nutrients from the food we eat and are absorbed into the blood supply which runs just underneath the villi, and transport these nutrients to wherever they are needed.
