(a) Name the kingdom to which bacteria belongs.

(b) Are they prokaryotes / eukaryotes?

(c) What are the four kinds of bacteria on the basis of their shape? Write the specific terms with their shapes.

(d) Name the outermost protective covering of a bacterium.

(e) What are the four suitable conditions required for the growth and development of bacteria?

(f) Name two kinds of respiration which can take place in bacteria.

(g) Mention the locomotory structure of bacteria which can help them to move.

Labeled diagram showing the internal structure of a bacterium is given below:

(a) Monera.

(b) They are prokaryotes.

(c) Bacteria can be classified into four types based on their shape:

1. Coccus (round shape)
2. Bacillus (rod shape)
3. Spirillum (spiral shape)
4. Vibrio (comma shape)

(d) Slime Capsule.

(e) Four suitable conditions required for the growth and development of bacteria are:

1. Availability of adequate water.
2. Appropriate food supply.
3. Suitable temperature.
4. Sufficient air.

(f) Two kinds of respiration which can take place in bacteria are:

1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration

(g) The locomotory structure of bacteria that helps them move is called the flagellum.
