Government Relations. For nearly 40 years EFTA has provided its members with a chance to help shape the laws and regulations that govern the electronic payments industry. Congress and the administrative agencies, as well as the media and state agencies, all call on EFTA regularly to discuss the impact of potential laws or policies.
Shape of Bacterial Cell The three basic bacterial shapes are coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral (twisted), however pleomorphic bacteria can assume several shapes. Shape of Bacterial Cell Cocci (or coccus for a single cell) are round cells, sometimes slightly flattened when they are adjacent to one another. Bacilli (or bacillus for a single cell) are rod-shaped bacteria.
After fertilization, the cells divide for about five days to form a ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst is essentially a hollow ball of cells containing an inner clump that is known as the inner cell mass. This clump is what give rise to embryonic stem cells if grown in a dish.
