◉ Taxonomy. Answer: the science of classifying organisms, it shows
the degree of similarity among organims
◉ systematics. Answer: the study of the evolutionary history of
orgnaims
◉ Escherichia coli (aka E. coli). Answer: Honors the discoverer,
Thedor Escherich
Describes the bacterium habitat-- large intestine
◉ Staphylococcus aureus. Answer: descibres the clustered (
staphylo-) spherical (cocci) cells

, ◉ rectangular shape. Answer:
◉ What are the basic shapes of microbial groups. Answer: bacillus
coccus
spiral
◉ arrangements. Answer: diplo: pairs
staphylo: clusters
strepto: chains
◉ motility. Answer: ability to move via flagella
usually all of them have flagella but not all
some have full movement but some just shake
◉ Brownian motion. Answer: where all the bacteria move in one
direction and can't change directions themselves
◉ Chemotaxis. Answer: either moving toward food or away from
chemicals
