The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the common-shaped bacteria, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Shapes of Bacteria**: Bacteria can be classified based on their shapes into several categories. The main shapes include: - Spherical (cocci) - Rod-shaped (bacilli) - Spiral (spirilli) - Comma-shaped (vibrios) - Corkscrew-shaped (spirochaetes) 2. **Focus on the Given Shape**: The question specifically asks about "common-shaped bacteria," which refers to the comma shape. 3. **Determine the Correct Classification**: Among the options provided (bacilli, spirilli, vibros, cocci), we need to identify which one corresponds to the comma shape. - Bacilli are rod-shaped. - Spirilli are spiral-shaped. - Cocci are spherical. - Vibrios are indeed comma-shaped. 4. **Conclude the Answer**: Based on the classification, the common-shaped bacteria that are comma-shaped are called **vibrios**. ### Final Answer: The common-shaped bacteria are called **vibrios**. ---
