Diplobacilli
________ appear in pairs after division, and streptobacilli occur in chains.
Endocytosis

Fin rise
________ can occur at the poles of the bacterial cell or can be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the cell.
Osmosis
________ is the net movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area with a high con- centration of water molecules (low concentration of solute mol- ecules) to an area of low concentration of water molecules (high concentration of solute molecules)
