• lipid storage
• glycogen granules
• polymer of glucose

Question 6

inorganic inclusions

Answer 6

• polyphosphate granules -volutin
• storage of phosphate and energy
• sulfur globules
• storage of sulfur used in energy generation

Question 7

magnetic inclusions -magnetosomes

Answer 7

• intracellular granules of Fe3O4 or fe3S
• gives the cell magnetic properties
• allows it to orient itself in a magnetic field
• bacteria migrate along earth’s magnetic filed- magnetotaxis
