Question

Consider the table. Types of Bacteria Form Shape Associated disease Coccus X Strep throat Bacillus Rod shaped Y Spirillum Spiral Cholera Which best describes X and Y? X = Spherical; Y = E. coli X = Comma shaped; Y = Whooping cough X = Oval shaped; Y = S. aureus X = Rod shaped; Y = Pneumonia

Answer 1

A) X=spherical, y=E.coli

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

X=spherical, y=E.coli

Step-by-step explanation:

Shapes of bacteria divide them into three classes namely coccus, bacillus and spirillum. Coccus bacteria are spherical shaped bacteria. Bacillus have a characteristic rod shape and spirillum are spiral shaped bacteria. Bacteria belonging to each of these classes are causatives of a variety of diseases.

Strep throat is caused by the bacteria belonging to the division coccus. E.coli disease is caused by E.coli bacteria belonging to the division bacillus. . The bacteria Streptococcus Pneumoniae causes pneumonia. Diseases like leptospirosis and syphilis are caused by spirillum bacteria.
