Which of the following is matched correctly?
A) Mycoplasma-rod-shaped
B) Anabaena-akinetes
C) Clostridium-aerobe
D) Neisseria-wall-less
E) Rhizobium-gas vesicle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabaena is a type of cyanobacteria that can differentiate into specialized cells called akinetes under unfavorable conditions. Akinetes are large, thick-walled cells that can survive adverse environmental conditions and germinate into new filaments when conditions become favorable again.

None of the other answer choices are matched correctly. Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that lacks a cell wall and can take on various shapes; it is often described as pleomorphic, which means that it can have different shapes at different stages of its life cycle. Clostridium is a genus of anaerobic bacteria, meaning that they do not require oxygen to grow, rather than aerobes. Neisseria is a genus of bacteria that has a cell wall, although it is somewhat atypical compared to other bacterial cell walls. Rhizobium is a type of bacteria that can form symbiotic associations with plants and has developed specialized structures called nodules, rather than gas vesicles.
