Content: Rod-shaped prokaryotes are called bacilli. Bacillus anthracis, which is the prokaryote that causes anthrax, is an example of a rod-shaped prokaryote. Spiral prokaryotes are spirochetes, such as the prokaryote that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by spiral-shaped bacteria

The last major similarity of prokaryotes we need to address is how they get food. Autotrophic prokaryotes make their own food. These organisms are either photoautotrophs, meaning they use light energy to make food via photosynthesis, or they are chemoautotrophs, meaning they use chemicals to make food via chemosynthesis. {"error":true,"iframe":true}
