Question

select all that apply which two of the following are functions of bacterial inclusions? □ promote energy conservation □ quorum sensing □ cell division □ locations to sequester enzymatic reactions □ storage sites

Explanation:

1. Promote energy conservation: Bacterial inclusions can help in storing energy - rich compounds, which aids in energy conservation. For example, poly - β - hydroxybutyrate (PHB) inclusions store carbon and energy.
2. Storage sites: Bacterial inclusions are well - known for being storage sites. They can store various substances like nutrients (e.g., glycogen inclusions store carbon and energy, and sulfur granules store sulfur).

• Quorum sensing is related to cell - to - cell communication based on the concentration of signaling molecules, not a function of inclusions.
• Cell division is a complex process involving structures like the FtsZ ring, not bacterial inclusions.
• While some inclusions may have enzymatic activity - related functions, "locations to sequester enzymatic reactions" is not a primary or well - recognized function of bacterial inclusions compared to storage and energy conservation.

Answer:

• Promote energy conservation
• Storage sites
