The wide variety of shapes is determined by the bacterial cell wall and cytoskeleton, and is important because it can influence the ability of bacteria to acquire nutrients, attach to surfaces, swim through liquids and escape predators. ... Motility: Motility imposes a heavy selective pressure on cell shape.

The bigger the shape the bigger the cytoplasm. The more the space for chemical rection to take place. The bigger the size the longer the psudepods (false feet).

Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5' → 3' direction by adding nucleotides to the end of a growing DNA

Ivan

Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the reaction of adding nucleotide to growing complementary daughter strand of DNA in the direction of 5' → 3' during elongation in the process of replication. This process requires energy which is taken from nucleotides with three phosphate groups in their backbone similar to ATP (adenine triphosphate)

DNA Replication is when DNA multiplies and make exact copies of itself as part of gene transfer.
