The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism is spindle-shaped, we can analyze the given options one by one: 1. **Paramecium**: Paramecium is a unicellular organism that is often described as having a slipper or elongated shape, which can be considered spindle-like. 2. **Bacteria**: Bacteria can have various shapes, including spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), and spiral (spirilla), but they are not typically described as spindle-shaped. 3. **Amoeba**: Amoebas are known for their irregular, blob-like shape. They do not have a defined shape and are not spindle-shaped. 4. **Yeast**: Yeast cells are generally oval or round and do not resemble a spindle shape. Based on this analysis, the organism that is spindle-shaped is **Paramecium**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the options**: The question provides four organisms: Paramecium, Bacteria, Amoeba, and Yeast. 2. **Analyze each organism's shape**: - Paramecium: Slipper or elongated shape, spindle-like. - Bacteria: Various shapes, not spindle-shaped. - Amoeba: Irregular, blob-like shape, not spindle-shaped. - Yeast: Oval or round shape, not spindle-shaped. 3. **Determine the correct answer**: Based on the shape analysis, Paramecium is the only organism that can be described as spindle-shaped. 4. **Conclude**: The correct answer to the question is **Paramecium**.
