The bacterial shape of the cells in Figure 1.1 would best be described as Group of answer choicesbacillus.spiral.ovoid.columnar.coccus.

To determine the shape of the bacterial cells in Figure 1.1, we can analyze the possible terms:

1. Bacillus: Rod-shaped bacteria.
2. Spiral: Twisted or corkscrew-shaped bacteria.
3. Ovoid: Oval-shaped bacteria.
4. Columnar: Column-like or elongated bacteria.
5. Coccus: Spherical-shaped bacteria.

Final Answer

Without seeing Figure 1.1, I can't specify the exact shape, but you can choose the correct term based on the observed shape:

• If they are rod-shaped, select bacillus.
• If they are spiral, select spiral.
• For oval shape, select ovoid.
• For column-like shape, select columnar.
• For spherical shape, select coccus.

Choose the option that best matches the visual representation in the figure.
