Question

multiple choice question
the archaeal cells in this image have which cellular morphology?
pleomorphic
spiral
cocci
rods

Explanation:

To determine the cellular morphology of the archaeal cells, we analyze the image and the options:

• Pleomorphic cells have variable shapes, which is not the case here.
• Spiral cells have a spiral shape, not seen in the image.
• Cocci are spherical or oval - shaped cells, and the cells in the image appear to be spherical/oval.
• Rods are rod - shaped, which does not match the image.

Answer:

C. cocci
