Which of the following accurately describes Helicobacter pylori?
Correct answer: C. Flagellated spiral-shaped bacterium
- A. Flagellated rod-shaped bacterium
- B. Flagellated chain bacterium
- C. Flagellated spiral-shaped bacterium
- D. Non-flagellated spiral-shaped bacterium
- E. Non-flagellated rod-shaped bacterium
Explanation
Helicobacter pylori is a flagellated spiral-shaped bacterium. Its spiral shape and flagella help it move through the mucus lining of the stomach, contributing to its pathogenicity. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe both the flagellation and the spiral shape of H. pylori. Options describing it as rod-shaped or non-flagellated do not match its known scientific characteristics.
