Question

What morphology is represented in the picture? The image shows round bacteria with thick cell walls.


cocci
spirilla
filamentous
rod shaped

Answer 1

We do not get to see the picture.  But from the description, it would be cocci because they are round.

Answer 2

Since the bacteria are round, the right answer is cocci.

The shape of bacteria is a criterion for classifying them. A coccus is a spherical-shaped bacterium, as opposed to the elongated rod form, called a bacillus.

Among the cocci, we find:

* monohulls, simple cocci,

* diplococci, cocci grouped two by two,

* streptococci, chain cocci,

* staphylococci, cocci in clusters.
